It's possible that the name 'Antigone Rising' just reflects the university backgrounds of the band's members. Classical mythology always is a popular subject in the ending years of high school and the beginning years of college. It's a subject that ties the two otherwise disparate experiences together. In the play 'Antigone', the main character of the same name refuses to accept an obedient, subordinate, subservient follower role in Theban society. She speaks her mind, and follows her conscience and her heart. In the play, her maverick defense of tradition against tradition-busting change earns her a death sentence. But other versions of her story indicate that she escapes capital punishment and starts life anew elsewhere with a newborn son of the husband that she can't save. Either way, Antigone ultimately is seen as the victorious defender of ancient, classical traditions. So the 'Rising' part of the band's name may refer to the classical figure's ultimate victories. And the band indeed traces its initial successes to a faithfulness to classic rock in a time of experimentation.
