In 2005, Rise Against participated in the Taste of Chaos tour (with Funeral for a Friend, Killswitch Engage, Story of the Year, and The Used), Give it a Name festival (with Alexisonfire, Coheed and Cambria, Fightstar, and MewithoutYou), and the Reading and Leeds Festivals in the UK. McIlrath commented that the band was "touring like maniacs at the time", accepting every show they could get into. Siren Song of the Counter Culture was released on August 10, 2004; the first 30,000 copies contained a "question authority" sticker. For the first six months, the album sold poorly, and attracted little fanfare. Geffen did not promote the band, as they were virtually unaware of their existence.

Accompanying music videos were shot for "Give It All" and "Swing Life Away".
