Biography

Tom Morello, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk of Rage Against The Machine, Chuck D and DJ Lord of Public Enemy and B-Real of Cypress Hill have lived the resistance from day one. So it’s no surprise that in the midst of 2016’s tumultuous election, the revolutionary musicians would join together as Prophets of Rage to combat the coming storm, whatever it may be. While the fierce independence and enduring influence of their collective lineage is nearly impossible to overstate, these creative kindred spirits knew immediately this was a different beast. Released in September of 2017, Prophets of Rage, their explosive, self-titled debut LP, exemplifies the band’s commitment to creating a more decent and humane world. The 12 tracks, produced by Brendan O’Brien fuse the diverse styles, sonic firepower and hard-hitting social consciousness of the group’s previous work into an inventive and commanding new musical statement. In 2016, Prophets of Rage partnered with activists and social justice organizations during their electrifying inaugural North American tour contributing a portion of the proceeds to the fight against hunger and homelessness, galvanizing fans in cities along the way. In 2017 the band’s world tour included shows in South America, Europe and North America.
