Street Sweeper Social Club, the band comprised of Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine/Audioslave/The Nightwatchman) and Boots Riley (The Coup), return with The Ghetto Blaster EP, out August 10th on SSSC/ILG. It's the follow-up to their 2009 critically acclaimed, self-titled debut.
The lead single off the seven song EP is a cover of M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes" which the band just posted to their MySpace page today.
Fans have the opportunity to pre-order The Ghetto Blaster EP at SSSC's own webstore - http://sssc.hasawebstore.com - They'll be able to choose from autographed CD's, vinyl and bundles that include both, plus a limited edition t-shirt. A digital download of "Paper Planes" is available as an instant gratification track with any pre-order.
After their Coachella performance in April, the LA Times gushed "The Social Club proved something important: that rap and rock, such a treacherous pairing given its history of appealing to the testosterone-heavy, shirtless frat-dudes, can be strong and beautiful, smart and angry." SSSC will be out on the road in support of the EP playing select Warped Tour dates and all of the Rock The Bells Festival in August with Snoop Dogg, A Tribe Called Quest & Wu-Tang Clan among others.
