Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello has a new EP out as his alter-ego The Nightwatchman. It’s called Union Town and is inspired by the labor struggles earlier this year in Wisconsin. Morello went to Madison and performed in solidarity with the hundreds of thousands of union members gathered every day at the capital to preserve their rights. The Nightwatchman is a solo act Morello adopted in 2003 as a way to express his political activism. Union Town is his third recorded effort, following from One Man Revolution released in 2007, and The Fabled City in 2008. His next album Worldwide Rebel Songs will be released later this year. The Union Town EP released digitally in mid-May and will be out on CD later this summer. All proceeds of the EP sales will go to benefit The America Votes Labor Unity Fund.
GUEST: Tom Morello, aka The Nightwatchman, guitarist for Rage Against the Machine
Tune into Axis of Justice this Friday at 7 pm, co-hosted by Tom Morello and Serj Tankian of System of a Down. The show will focus on the Union Town EP and classic union songs from American history.
