Santa Monica, California, September 17, 2008 – Rise Against’s new single, ‘Re-Education (Through Labor)’ is off to an amazing start at radio with the track at #8 on the modern rock radio chart. Top 10 after just four weeks at the format! And now the video for ‘Re-Education (Through Labor)’ will make its debut next week on MTV-2 and mtv-U. Unleashed Premiere on MTV-2 & All Day Premiere on mtv-U begins Monday, 9/22 with an online premiere on MTV2.com & mtvU.com the same day.

Directed by Kevin Kerslake, the video was shot in Chicago and lead singer Tim McIlrath is looking forward to discussing it, ‘I want to talk about this video in interviews, I want a video where someone sits me down and says what the f*** was up with that?’
