Rise Against themselves have listed several influences, among them, ALL, Descendents, Black Flag (they covered two of their songs, "Fix Me" and "Nervous Breakdown"), Minor Threat (the band also covered "Minor Threat"), Pennywise, Nirvana (who were also on Geffen prior to Kurt Cobain's death in 1994), and Bad Religion (especially early on in their career).

Tim McIlrath provided guest vocals on "Let Them Eat War" by Bad Religion for their live DVD Live at the Palladium, and in 2004 Rise Against got to tour with their idols.

Bill Stevenson (of ALL/Descendents, and formerly of Black Flag) produced the band's second album Revolutions per Minute as well as The Sufferer & the Witness and Appeal to Reason.

Chad Price (also in ALL) provided additional backing vocals on Revolutions per Minute and The Sufferer & the Witness.
