Rage Against The Machine main

Rage Against The Machine, one of the most 
influential bands in the recent history 
of rock music formed in 1991. By early 
1992 they had pieced 
together a self produced 12 song cassette 
which went on to sell over 5000 copies. 
By November their first album is 
released on Epic Records, and becomes an 
instant rock classic. By early 1994, due 
to relentless touring and word of mouth, 
the album has gone platinum in 14 
countries. The follow up, Evil Empire is 
released in 1996, and debuts at #1. Their 
next album, The Battle of Los Angeles is 
widely thought to be their finest effort, 
was released three years later. 

Rage's unfaltering left wing political 
stance in their lyrics, along with their 
'non-synthesised', unique musical style, 
combining metal, funk, and rap has seen 
them become on oof the most original 
and influential bands of the 90's
