Tom Morello and Boots Riley Become Street Sweeper Social Club

Rage Against The Machine frontman Tom Morello has another side project. He has teamed up with Boots Riley from The Coup to form Street Sweeper Social Club.

If you are attending any of the Nine Inch Nails and Jane’s Addiction shows across the USA at the moment, get there early for Street Sweeper Social. They are the support act.

“It’s revolutionary party jams,” said Morello of Street Sweeper Social Club. “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.”

Riley added, “This is a time when the working class is being fleeced left and right. More families will be homeless and more people will be jobless. They’ll need something to listen to on their iPods while storming Wall Street.”

Inertia will release the Street Sweeper Social Club album in Australia on June 27th.

Watch Street Sweeper Social Club perform MC5’s Kick Out The Jams with Trent Reznor.
