Tom Morello, The Bloody Beetroots join forces for ‘The Catastrophists’ EP, enlist Pussy Riot and more on ‘Radium Girls’

Tom Morello‘s influence and experience around the electronic space is well documented, and The Bloody Beetroots‘ seasoned, punk-powered aesthetic are so complementary, it is a wonder these two veteran forces didn’t team up sooner. Though now, the pair have linked for a joint EP called The Catastrophists, due in full on June 18, dropping off a blistering new single, “Radium Girls,” ahead of the project’s release with a stellar cast of collaborators. Bringing “Radium Girls” to life is a stacked lineup of exceptional female talent, with Pussy Riot’s Nadya Tolokonnikova, The Interrupters’ Aimee Interrupter, White Lung’s Mish Way, and finally The Last Internationle’s Delila Paz all assisting on the anthemic electro-rock number. Dedicated to the real Radium Girls, female factory workers who contracted radiation poisoning from painting watch faces with glow-in-the-dark paint in the 1920’s, the song holds a special place in Morello’s heart. The Rage Against The Machine guitarist shared in an official release, Giving the term “Radium Girls” new meaning with the powerful new joint effort, the track blends thrashing guitar licks with amped vocal contributions for a certified headbanger ahead of The Catastrophists‘ wide release.
