Rage Against the Machine saw quick success, signing a record deal a year after forming in 1991. Their self titled release saw critical acclaim, going on to release three more albums as a group. Incendiary in their lyrical content the band had once played a crowd to riot at the DNC in 2000.

Eventually RATM reformed for a last solo tour.
