Video Du Jour: Street Sweeper Social Club

Jan 22, 11:59am 30 Days Out

While we begin the big buildup to this year's South by Southwest conference/festival/brain fry in Austin, we want to fondly recall a few of our past experiences. This one took place in 2010, with Tom Morello, Boots Riley and the Street Sweeper Social Club. They're doing "The Oath," a standout from the band's first album.

Mad Mackerel's 2010 Top Ten Series: No 3, Dr Roddy

Dec 19, 2010, 8:01am Mad Mackerel's Blog

Here at MM we share, chat, argue, bury and praise music on a pretty regular basis…like daily. So throughout the year, the Mackerel crew (Mrs Mackerel, Barry-Sean, Christy-Popper, Dr Roddy, Polly Pocket, Starbar, MM and others) keep their own ever-changing top tens ready for publication at the climax of the festive season. Now is the time to reveal all... Our third contribution this year comes from the mighty Dr Roddy, house-mate, chef, Leeds fan, and occasional soiler of his own trousers. 10.

2010 In Review: Our Favorite Albums & Other Stuff

Dec 12, 2010, 9:55pm 30 Days Out

This was a pretty good year for recorded music, in the form of albums and in digital form. Rock artists came back with a vengeance, producing strong music and worthy albums. Any number of indie bands offered up career-defining work, which makes the future look pretty healthy indeed. The big news on the digital front was, uh, the Beatles on iTunes, and in just their first week on the download service they sold about 2 million songs. Paul McCartney, now the keeper of the Beatles' flame, appeared on "Saturday Night Live" over the weekend and performed five songs [...]

Ep.423 – Voodoo Experience 2010 – New Orleans, LA – October 29th – 31st, 2010

Nov 17, 2010, 11:33pm YouTellConcerts.com

I journeyed out of the YTC universe for a couple weeks to tackle some CMA Awards duties, but I'm back to bring you our adventures from Voodoo Fest in New Orleans. I had been dying to go to New Orleans for a long time, and this festival, which takes place over Halloween weekend seemed like the perfect opportunity. We didn't have a plan, finalizing our escape a day before everything was scheduled to start. We knew that we would miss most of the first day, but we felt making the trip was still worth it.

Street Sweeper Social Club – Paper Planes

Oct 25, 2010, 10:00am Hidden Track

Sure, the Street Sweeper Social Club's cover of M.I.A.'s ubiquitous hit Paper Planes may seem like its coming a couple of years too late, but the rap-rock "super group" - comprised of Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello and Boots Riley of The Coup - has been covering the song in concert for quite some time before recording it for their recent EP The Ghetto Blaster , which came out this summer. The band has just released a video for their angsty, hard funk-rap take on the tune... [...]

sweet street sweepers seldom sweep swept streets

Sep 5, 2010, 2:49pm in ALL caps music blog

Tom Morello and Boots Riley (Street Sweeper Social Club) Ok, kilter, you can do it. You can write this review without referring to Tom Morello's previous, well-known project combining rap and rock. Just pretend that "anger toward the device" band never existed. Take a deep breath, and let's go. You know Tom Morello. He moonlights as The Nightwatchman and was the guitar player in Audioslave, as well as, um, other projects. He writes catchy, riffy guitar lines and uses the guitar as a musical weapon as much as an instrument. You [...]

TOM MORELLO DISSES WARPED TOUR EMO KIDS

Aug 20, 2010, 2:00pm MetalSucks

Amongst the older musicians on Warped Tour, dissing the traveling festival's main constituency of tight-pants-wearing, hair-swooping, girly-man emo kids has kind of become like going fishing in a stocked kiddie pond; super easy but still lots of fun and irresistible. Every Time I Die's Andy Williams and Dillinger Escape Plan's Liam Wilson had plenty to [...]

New Music Tuesday [August 10th, 2010] – Robots Need Love Too

Aug 10, 2010, 10:50am DBF Music

Dan Mangan has kind of come out of nowhere to be in the running for the Polaris Prize this year and has some major league buzz starting to build around his quirky, folky and solid songwriting. His album Nice, Nice, Very Nice (pictured above) comes out today on BSS label Arts & Crafts and I imagine you will probably be hearing a lot more of it in short time. To get your feet wet on this guy's material, be sure to check out his Robots vs. Indie Queens EP [...]

Street Sweeper Social Club: "The Ghetto Blaster" (EP review)

Aug 10, 2010, 6:14am Snob's Music

In nearly 20 years nobody has been able to combine rap and rock as seamlessly as Rage Against The Machine. Those who try often sound disjointed and frankly, pathetic. Thankfully RATM's Tom Morello has hooked up with Boots Riley for the second release from Street Sweeper Social Club, The Ghetto Blaster EP. Together they save us from mediocre rap-rock. The EP opens with "Ghetto Blaster", a

Review: More Wily Veterans!

Got some great albums coming out to rock the rest of the summer ... let's jump right in and take a listen: Street Sweeper Social Club is a rap-rock outfit led by guitarist Tom Morello and vocalist Boots Riley, created in the mold of Morello's angry Rage Against The Machine. SSSC blew us away with a live set at SXSW this spring, and now they have The Ghetto Blaster EP , their second album which is really an EP (but you knew that already). [...]

Album Review: Street Sweeper Social Club – The Ghetto Blaster EP

Aug 2, 2010, 7:58am Consequence Of Sound

Street Sweeper Social Club 's self-titled debut from last year was an above average combo of Boots Riley' politically-motivated raps and Tom Morello's rage-inducing fretwork (I apologize for that pun). Now after a year on tour, the duo cooked up a bunch of new songs and covers, which make up the Ghetto Blaster EP . Unfortunately, the result is nowhere near as interesting or entertaining as their first release. While there are a few good songs here, most of the record feels uninspired and full of throwaway tracks. The problems start off almost immediately with [...]
