Epitaph Signs The Coup

We just recieved this from Epitaph:

[...] we just signed
the incendiary Hip Hop icons, The Coup, to Epitaph for the
world.....they blend revolutionary left wing politics with prince-like
funk and superb lyrical skills....

This past fall, the leader of the group, Boots Riley, toured the US
with Billy Bragg, Steve Earle and Tom Morello on the "Tell Us The
Truth Tour" which spoke out against corporate media. Boots, who has
been a political activist longer than he has been a musician, went
over very well with that audience as well which consisted mostly of
older Billy Bragg fans.
