Boundary-pushing artist Kid Bookie is back with a new single, “Blame”, featuring Corey Taylor of Slipknot. The track arrives with an official visualizer and continues the artist’s run of collaborative releases.

The new song follows “Rose McGowan”, which featured Rose McGowan and drew attention across both music and film circles. That release stood out for its direct approach and the pairing of two distinct voices.

With “Blame”, Kid Bookie moves further into personal territory. The track reunites him with Corey Taylor, also known for his work with Stone Sour, and focuses on themes of accountability, growth, and self-reflection. Their working relationship goes back years, and this release builds on that history with a more stripped-back and direct approach.

Speaking about the track, Kid Bookie shares: “Over the years, facing myself and the reflection that comes with the mirror isn’t always an easy one. Accountability is the removal of ego and pride to see beyond your own nose, to allow yourself the room to grow via ownership of your actions. I’m around some of the best people who practice that in more ways than one. Corey and I have been working with each other for nearly a decade, but I feel this record is a coming of age, even for us. New territory, but familiar approach to make sure we embolden each other through music. This song is almost a therapy session for me, and not just via my own lyrics, but to how Corey has made me feel by exposing himself so bare in this record, truly an honor to keep pushing the envelope with someone who has just pushed it as far as it can go, but has completely revamped what the envelope fu*king is.”

Corey Taylor adds: “Books is one of my favorite people, not just artists, and every time he comes to me with an opportunity to create with him, I’m always excited because I know I’m going to hear something I’ve never heard before. “Blame” was so good the first time I heard it, I signed on without even knowing what I’d do! I’m proud of the song, and I’m proud of him, and grateful to be involved.”

“Blame” shows Kid Bookie leaning into a more open and direct style while keeping the intensity that has defined his work so far. The track is built on that tension, combining heavy sound with personal subject matter.

The single also points toward a new full-length release expected later this year. Details are still limited, but the upcoming record is set to expand on the direction heard in “Blame”, continuing Kid Bookie’s mix of experimentation and personal themes.

Rise Against have announced a new run of U.S. headlining dates set for this fall, bringing Alkaline Trio along as support.

The tour begins September 22 in Dallas, Texas at South Side Ballroom and will move through major cities including New York City, Philadelphia, Raleigh, Phoenix, Milwaukee, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, and San Francisco.

The band is currently on the road across Canada and select U.S. stops with Destroy Boys, Koyo, and Speed Of Light, keeping a steady touring pace ahead of the newly announced dates.

Presale access opens Wednesday, March 18 at 10 a.m. local time, with general ticket sales starting Friday, March 20 at 10 a.m. local. Tickets are available through the band’s official website.

Alongside the tour news, Rise Against recently introduced The A.R.T. Project (All Rise Together), a fan-focused initiative tied to their latest album Ricochet, released via Loma Vista. The project centers on collaboration, inviting fans to contribute creatively during a time when connection feels fractured. Supporters from across the band’s 25-year history took part in designing artwork for recent videos for “Damage Is Done” and “Ricochet”.

For decades, Rise Against have stayed consistent in both message and sound. The Chicago-based group built a catalog that reflects unrest and resistance, pairing sharp, melodic hardcore with themes that address social and political tension. Their music continues to carry that weight, keeping the band relevant while holding onto the core approach that defined them early on.
