Timeline

1974

Joseph Daniel Principe (born November 14, 1974) is an American musician.

He is the bassist, backing vocalist, and co-founder of the punk rock band Rise Against.

He is also straight edge, a vegan, an animal rights advocate, and actively promotes PETA with his band.

Principe began his musical career at age 15, learning to play by ear and influenced during his formative years by Bad Religion, Minor Threat, Bad Brains, the Descendents, Bill Swerski and other like minded bands.

Principe attended Holy Cross High School in River Grove, Illinois.

1993

In 1993, Principe formed the Chicago punk band 88 Fingers Louie with Dom Vallone, Mr. Precision, and Denis Buckley.

The band were together for six years of touring and releasing records (Go Away, Wanted, Totin' 40's & Fuckin' Shit Up, Behind Bars, 88 Fingers Up Your Ass, The Dom Years, The Teacher Gets It, Back On The Streets, 88 Fingers Louie/Kid Dynamite).

1999

In 1999, tensions formed within the band, and the members decided to break up and go their separate ways.

Shortly after the breakup with 88 Fingers Louie, Principe met future bandmate and friend Tim McIlrath at a Sick of It All concert.

Principe asked McIlrath to sing over a few tracks that he and former 88 Fingers Louie guitarist Mr. Precision had recorded.

It was then McIlrath agreed to form the band.

They later met up with drummer Toni Tintari and formed the band as "Transistor Revolt", the band's original name before changing it to "Rise Against".

2000

In 2000, they released the self-titled demo, Transistor Revolt.

Tintari left the band in the fall of that year before the recording of their full-length album.

He was later replaced by Brandon Barnes of "Pinhead Circus".

2001

The band then signed with independent record label Fat Wreck Chords in 2001.

They then released their debut album The Unraveling and spent the rest of the year touring.

2002

In 2002, Mr. Precision left and was replaced by Todd Mohney.

The band returned to the studio in December 2002 to work on their second full-length album, Revolutions per Minute in 2003 and toured for the 2003 Warped Tour, which gained the band some success.

2003

Rise Against then signed to Dreamworks Records in late 2003 to begin the recording of their third record, but Dreamworks was shortly absorbed by the Universal Music Group, and Rise Against found itself with Major label Geffen Records.

Todd Mohney, the band's guitarist at the time, left and was replaced by Chris Chasse and began the recording of their new album Siren Song of the Counter Culture.

2004

Siren Song of the Counter Culture was released on August 10, 2004, peaking at number 136 on the Billboard 200 album charts, gaining the band major critical and commercial success with the singles "Give It All, "Swing Life Away", and "Life Less Frightening". The band re-entered the studio in January 2006, after touring in support of Siren Song of the Counter Culture, and recorded their fourth studio album at the Blasting Room studio in Fort Collins, Colorado with producers Bill Stevenson and Jason Livermore. The Sufferer & the Witness was released on July 4, 2006, peaking at number 10 on the Billboard 200 and received generally positive reviews from critics and was a commercial success along with their singles "Ready to Fall", "Prayer of the Refugee" and "The Good Left Undone". Rise Against toured in support of The Sufferer & the Witness throughout the second half of 2006 and all of 2007.

2006

The band was a headliner in the 2006 Warped Tour as part of The Sufferer & the Witness Tour.

In late 2006, the band co-headlined a tour with Thursday that included the bands Circa Survive and Billy Talent.

The Sufferer & the Witness has less of the hardcore punk feel from the band's previous albums.

2007

In 2007, Chasse decided to leave the band and was replaced by longtime friend Zach Blair from Only Crime.

During this tour, on July 3, 2007, Rise Against released an EP in Canada titled This Is Noise, which was subsequently released in the United States on January 15, 2008.

Rise Against's fifth studio album, Appeal to Reason, was released in October through DGC/Interscope.

The album sold 64,700 copies in its first week and peaked at number 3 on the Billboard 200, making it Rise Against's highest-charting album to date at the time.

Appeal to Reason was met with generally positive reviews, with its singles Re-Education (Through Labor), Audience of One, and Savior.

2009

Rise Against embarked on a North American tour with bands Rancid, Billy Talent, Killswitch Engage, and Riverboat Gamblers in June and July 2009.

2011

After touring for almost two years, Rise Against had begun recording their sixth studio album for a 2011 release, at the Blasting Room in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Rise Against announced two South American shows in Brazil and Argentina and a run of European shows in late February and March 2011, respectively.

Endgame was released on March 11, 2011, in the United States peaking at number 2 on The Billboard 200, receiving positive reviews from critics and commercial success.

Rise Against have since earned several gold and platinum records in the United States and Canada throughout their career.
