Wakrat launch Sober Addiction track

Wakrat – led by Rage Against The Machine and Prophets Of Rage bassist Tim Commerford – have streamed their track Sober Addiction.

It’s taken from their self-titled debut album, set for launch on November 11 via Earache. Hear the track below.

Last week the trio – completed by Mathias Wakrat and Laurent Grangeon – released a video for Generation Fucked, shot while they staged a political protest in London.

Commerford recently said: “We’re not making music for anyone else. We’re making music for ourselves.

“We’re three human beings and we got all different types of influences that flow through us. Right now, when I turn on the radio I’m hearing the grid – and I’m sick of the grid.

“That’s what we’re trying to do: smash the grid.”

Wakrat are currently touring North America with Prophets Of Rage, with both bands remaining on the road until October 16. Full dates below. The album is available for pre-order.

When Wakrat's #generationfucked hit Parliament

Prophets Of Rage vow to ‘kick establishment in the mouth’

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
