Rage Against the Machine & The Coup join forces to form Street Sweeper

Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello and Boots Riley of Oakland OG duo The Coup have joined forces to create a new musical entity dubbed Street Sweeper.

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

While no official date has been set for the new group’s album release, Street Sweeper will embark on a tour with Nine Inch Nails and Jane’s Addiction starting this May
