Tom Morello talks teaming up with Kneecap and his new solo album: "It’s a record for everyone who’s had enough"
The album features Kneecap, Serj Tankian and Morello’s 15-year-old son Roman, and he calls it a record for people who have had enough.
On Friday, guitarist Tom Morello released 'Everyone Gets Everything They Want' via Mom + Pop Music, his 22nd career album and first official solo rock record.
Morello explained the album as a response to the "spectre of authoritarianism," characterizing it as a "State of the Union address" focused on anti-fascism and solidarity.
The record features collaborations with System Of A Down's Serj Tankian, Kneecap, and Beartooth, while Morello's 15-year-old son Roman Morello co-wrote riffs for five of the album's 11 tracks.
Critics describe the tracklist as a "confused grab-bag" of styles, though Morello maintains consistent vocal support for socialist and pro-Palestinian causes throughout his career.
Morello is curating the Power To The People Festival in October, titled "A Day of Peace, Love, Justice and Music," and launching The Mary Morello Memorial Project.
