“100 Little Curses” by Street Sweeper Social Club

Street Sweeper Social Club introduced themselves with "100 Little Curses," the first single from their self-titled debut, which premiered on the band's Myspace page on April 27, 2009, ahead of the album's June 16 release. The group is a two-man rap-rock summit: Tom Morello, the guitarist from Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave, and Boots Riley, the rapper from the Coup. They share the writing credit, and Riley wrote the words.

Morello pitched the album as revolutionary party music, heavy riffs up against Riley's satirical, venomous rhymes, and Riley pitched it as music for a working class being fleeced from every side, something to play while storming Wall Street. In May and June the band opened for Nine Inch Nails and Jane's Addiction.
