Rise Against Vocalist Wants You To Go Vegan

Rise Against vocalist Tim McIlrath has a few words of advice for anyone looking to make the world a better place: Ditch “mindless traditions” and go vegan.

That’s the message in his new video for peta2, the world’s largest youth animal rights organization, in which he shares many reasons to embrace a cruelty-free lifestyle.

“I’m talking about some of the mindless traditions that have kept society eating meat and taking part in all kinds of consumption of animal products,” says McIlrath. “I can’t stress how easy it is to … leave these things out of your life. This is something that affects you, the world around you, the environment, and even the economy. This is something that touches all of our lives. And so, for the animals, and for yourself, and for the Earth, please consider a cruelty-free lifestyle.”

Summertime in Seoul, South Korea, like in many other big cities, is the time for music festivals. Being a new columnist on the interview beat here in Seoul means I had the chance to attend a few of those festivals and was able to interview some of the artists, too.

During Seo Tai-ji’s 2008 ETP Festival I sat down and talked to two of the members of Death Cab for Cutie – bassist Nick Harmer and drummer Jason McGerr – before their set. I asked them a few questions about their charity work and causes they support both as a group and as individuals.
