TOM MORELLO’S NEW BAND
STREET SWEEPER SOCIAL CLUB
Tom Morello made a name for himself as the guitarist for Rage Against The Machine, a rap/rock band who set the bar for a genre and is still to this day one of the most respected bands of this generation. He has been named to multiple Top 10 guitarists lists for his unique style and groundbreaking technique.
After Rage’s breakup in 2000, Morello and his band mates, sans lead singer Zack de la Rocha, formed Audioslave with Chris Cornell, and released 3 critically-acclaimed studio albums in the process. Since then, Morello has released a couple of solo albums – none of which people have cared about.
His latest project, Street Sweeper Social Club, carries some intrigue. Morello has teamed up with former The Coup rapper Boots Riley to release a rock/rap record set for release in June.
“It’s revolutionary party jams,” Morello said in a press release posted on the band’s MySpace. “It’s got huge steamroller riffs combined with depth, charge, funk, while Boots unloads clip after clip of incendiary rhymes rich with satire and venom.”
Yes, Tom Morello is a nerd, hence his political science degree from Harvard … but he’s still a badass.
Take a list to their first single,”Fight! Smash! Win!”, below:
This project looks good on paper, but it just doesn’t work and has been executed poorly. Sounds like they need the help of a seasoned producer.
