Anybody into them/heard of them? It's Tom Morello's new band with rapper Boots Riley, they're somewhat similar to Rage with their whole rap over rock style. Personally I disagree with their radical political views and whatnot, but the music is pretty good and I love me some Morello. FIght! Smash! Win! and Promenade are my favorite songs by them.

Tell me more about these radical political views.
EDIT: Sorry if that seems to be a blunt way to ask, but I'd actually really like to know.

Well I don't know all the specifics, but they're a socialist band and whatnot. Mostly I refer to Boots Reily, whose political thoughts seem sort of confusing and at times retarded.
He's one of those super left wing, anti capitalism, down with the gov't type people, which is just not my thing. Not all of their songs tocuh on that theme, but overall they're generally motivated by that socialist stuff.

Socialist stuff, eh? I'd call myself centre-left, some people call me a socialist (I'm not). I hate the term really, because it associates me with people like that.

I'm with you Hacksaw, I don't believe in their political views, but Morello makes great music. Actually his interview with "interview legend" Nardwuar, is amazing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKOk902usKoWatch, and respect. |
