STREAM: Rage Against The Machine – “Mindset’s A Threat”

Fellow Buzzmedia music site SPIN have got a stream off the upcoming Rage Against The Machine re-release, XX. We’ve got it embedded here, but you can still enter to win a free copy of the deluxe box set here. The song, “Mindset’s a Threat”, is clearly from before the original demo, as the lyrics reference the time of the early 90s. It still features a crazy guitar solo though.

Tom Morello recently said that Rage was not working on any new music, nor had any future plans for touring. For a band with nothing going on whatsoever, there’s …

DAMMIT: No Rage Against The Machine Album In The Works

Well color me unsurprised, here. Previously, TMZ had two run ins with Rage Against The Machine bassist Tim Commerford, both in random Los Angeles parking lots, in which Tim basically insinuated (in a joking way) that a new RATM album may have been in the works. Now, Tom Morello has used his swift foot of rebellion to crush our hopes of a new album.

He said the band has “no plans beyond” their upcoming re-release of their debut album, this time called XX for its twentieth anniversary. He told that to Billboard, who also asked if the …

Tim Commerford On New Rage Album: “Definitely, Maybe…”

TMZ has a habit of running into alternative rock bassists in random parking lots in Los Angeles. I really can’t explain how or why (seriously, it’s a big city, why would you run into a celebrity in a parking lot multiple times?), but this is the second time in less than two months that they’ve caught up with Tim Commerford of Rage Against the Machine and tried to pry him about a new album.

Tim Commerford when asked if they were working on a new album this time? “Definitely, maybe, yeah. Anything is possible.” The interviewer than asks him about …

Rage Against The Machine To Re-release First Album As Box Set

Twenty years ago, alternative band Rage Against the Machine made waves with their self titled debut. Now they are getting an extreme re-release of it, calling it XX, in three formats: one as a CD with three bonus tracks, one as a double CD with a DVD, and one with a box set of both along with the vinyl, a picture disc, and a forty page booklet. Chuck D of Public Enemy also wrote new linear notes. Dorks like me everywhere are excited.

In the two disc version of the CD, disc one is the CD with three bonus …

LIVE VIDEO: The xx – “Friction”

London based indie pop group The xx played a new song live at Primavera Sound 2012 recently, and we have a live video of it here. The song titled “Friction” will be coming off of their new album Coexist, which comes out on September 10, 2012. Sometimes live amateur videos are pretty low quality and aren’t really worthy of sharing, but this video has suprisingly good sound. The xx broke into the scene with their album titled xx, which came out in 2009 on Young Turks.

You can check out the video after the break, but make sure …
