Dead Letter Circus Killing In The Name with their Rage Against The Machine Cover

by | May 30, 2014

When Dead Letter Circus came out with their first EP, one of their tracks struck a major nerve with the people of Australia. In our interview with him a few years ago, frontman Kim Benzie said “We were lucky enough that one of our songs resonated with the people at Triple J radio in Australia…they picked us up and suddenly there were hundreds of people coming to our shows and singing along. It was kind of freaky.”

If you thought Dead Letter Circus nailed it with their Florence + the Machine cover, they’re killing it with their rendition of Rage Against The Machine’s “Killing In The Name.”

Here’s a video of the performance they did for Triple J. And since we brought it up, we also included a full stream of their debut EP.
