Hello there! Im new to the site too! I love Rise Against also, but my favorite band would have to In This Moment. 
Hope you have a good time on here I am still trying to find my way around into some good RP's!!
Im 24 btw. And my name is DarkStar. I don't feel completely okay yet to even give out a fake name on the internet. LOL
I have been RPing for the last 10 years, and that was all on the same site, so we were a close knit family, but that site died apparently which made me sad when I went to reconnect!

:D
