PROPHETS OF RAGE – SINGLE REVIEW

Prophets of Rage – Pop Goes the Weapon 
Prophets of Rage - Pop Goes the Weapon

Release Date: Out Now

They might be starting to resemble a bad-ass Sunday morning basketball team but protest supergroup Prophets of Rage will take any one to town when it comes to the matter of rocking out. The band’s new single, ‘Pop Goes the Weapon’, is a timely reminder of the ridiculousness of American gun laws and a government paralysed to do anything about them due to the funding of the NRA. Anyway, on to the music; Tom Morello’s guitars are reliably insane in the verse before they throb and grind in the chorus. “Pop goes the weapon, pop, pop goes the weapon” is the rapped chant giving this a chillingly child-like quality but the groove provided by Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk is as deep as they come while Chuck D and B-Real spit truth after truth with pin-point accuracy. Lyrical snipers, if you will.


Live Dates:

12th September – The Mayan, Los Angeles (Sold Out)
