Siren Song of the Counter Culture is the third album by American punk rock band Rise Against, released on August 10, 2004 on the Geffen Records label. It is the band's first release on a major label. The album sold very well, mainly due to the success of its single, "Swing Life Away", which reached #12 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks, making it the band's highest-charting single at the time. Also faring well were the album's other three singles, "Give It All" (#37), "Life Less Frightening" (#33), and "Paper Wings". While the album was commercially successful, Siren Song of the Counter Culture is not Rise Against's highest charting album on the Billboard 200, peaking only at #136; subsequent albums The Sufferer & The Witness , Appeal to Reason, and Endgame charted higher, peaking at #10 , #3 , #2 respectively. The album has been certified gold by the RIAA and platinum by the CRIA.
