Hear Prophets Of Rage take on Beastie Boys classic from upcoming The Party’s Over EP

Prophets Of Rage

Rage Against The Machine offshoot Prophets Of Rage have streamed their track No Sleep ‘Till Cleveland – their take on Beastie Boys classic No Sleep ‘Till Brooklyn.

The live performance below, created as a protest to the US Republican National Convention, appears on the supergroup’s debut EP The Party’s Over, which arrives on August 26.

Prophets Of Rage includes RATM’s Tom Morello, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk, plus Chuck D and DJ Lord of Public Enemy and B-Real of Cypress Hill. Their stated aim is to “make America rage again.”

Meanwhile, the band have discussed their abandoned attempt to perform in a California prison in July, after State authorities pulled the plug while they were setting up the show – so they played outside the complex instead.

Chuck D tells Rolling Stone in a video report: “We wanted to be part of a little bit of enlightenment to inmates here. Every little second of light and hope is a good thing, and that’s the true meaning of rehabilitation.”

After setting up across the street, Morello told the crowd: “We made a promise to the inmates that we would play. We want to keep that promise.” D later said: “We want to do this kind of thing right across the States.”

The band’s first US tour begins tonight (August 19) and runs until October 16 – see the dates below.
