Tom Morello praised Kneecap for speaking truth to power, comparing them to Rage Against the Machine. He discussed the band's controversial pro-Palestine stance, especially at Coachella, where they faced backlash for political expressions. Following their performances, a band member faced legal issues linked to their activism. Morello emphasized that art should reflect a commitment to truth and highlighted the tragic consequences of ongoing conflicts, stating that such realities should be prioritized over focusing on the band’s actions and messages in their performances.
What they're doing in their art is what people could probably stand to do more in their lives: to really speak truth to power. And, you know, Kneecap are not terrorists; what is terroristic is, you know, 20,000 dead Palestinian children.
Kneecap are clearly the Rage Against The Machine of now. Like, there's them and there's a gap to the next one.
