As previously announced, Boots Riley and Tom Morello are set to release their years-in-the-making collaboration. Set for release on June 16 via Warner Group’s Independent Label Group (the same distributor that handles Rhymesayers’ releases), Street Sweeper Social Club combines Boots’ socialist satire with Morello’s energy blasts. Stanton Moore, drummer for Galactic, lends an assist on the duo’s hard funk-rock.

“It’s revolutionary party jams,” says Morello in a press release. “It’s got huge steamroller riffs combined with depth, charge, funk, while Boots unloads clip after clip of incendiary rhymes rich with satire and venom.”

“This is a time when the working class is being fleeced left and right,” adds Riley. “More families will be homeless and more people will be jobless. They’ll need something to listen to on their ipods while storming Wall Street.”

The duo kicked off its tour opening for Nine Inch Nails & Jane’s Addiction earlier this month. The itinerary runs until the end of June.

Here’s the track listing:

• 1. “Fight! Smash! Win!”
• 2. “100 Little Curses”
• 3. “The Oath”
• 4. “The Squeeze”
• 5. “Clap For The Killers”
• 6. “Somewhere In The World It’s Midnight”
• 7. “Shock You Again”
• 8. “Good Morning, Mrs. Smith”
• 9. “Megablast”
• 10. “Promenade”
• 11. “Nobody Moves (Til We Say Go)”

The group is known as Street Sweeper. They’ll introduce the project to the frat boys of the nation during a tour opening for Nine Inch Nails and Jane’s Addiction. Meanwhile you can hear their first track, “Fight! Smash! Win!” on the Street Sweeper website.
