WAKRAT: Rage Against The Machine Bassist Has Another New Project

All this talk about Rage Against The Machine reincarnate Prophets of Rage… but there’s also another Rage-related project happening: Wakrat.

The band features Rage Against The Machine founding member Tim Commerford on vocals/bass, along with Mathias Wakrat on drums and Laurent Grangeon on guitar and vocals.
