They don’t play to the mainstream; they want to hijack it. The most overtly political rock band to ever reach the top of the album charts, Rage Against The Machine’s mix of metal, hardcore and hip-hop is meant to wake you up and make you listen to what is being communicated. Obviously, judging by their multi-platinum sales stature, they succeed. Led by singer/rapper Zach De La Rocha and monster guitarist Tom Morello, the L.A. group’s strident, uncompromising politics and abrasive sonic textures ring out to the disenchanted and disconnected who ordinarily go undetected in the complacent '90s.
