Tom Morello Releases New Solo Album

Tom Morello’s new solo album Everyone Gets Everything They Want was released on September 25 through Mom + Pop Music. The album includes collaborations with Kneecap, Serj Tankian, Beartooth and Morello’s 15-year-old son Roman Morello. Morello said the album was made with the idea that music can be a tool for change.

The album includes Unconquered, a collaboration with Kneecap, whom Morello said he had previously been a fan of. He said the song’s title, a strong chorus and its effectiveness at festivals were three basic criteria for the track. Roman Morello wrote the riffs for five tracks on the album, and Tom Morello said his son’s contribution inspired him.

Serj Tankian appears on Adjourn It, a song focused on anti-immigrant rhetoric. Morello also said he performed 20 concerts with Bruce Springsteen on the Land of Hope and Dreams tour.

Morello said he will organize the Power To The People Festival, which will take place near Washington DC.
