Take the Power back is a Nashville based Rage Against the Machine tribute band.
Oh, and they are all girls.
The group has gained approval from hardcore Rage fans and casual music listeners from all different aspects.
Tribute bands are a popular concept, but there are very few that can leave their mark and have a crowd screaming for an encore, which was the case tonight at Green Bar.
Singer Katy Lyles has the unique, identical energy and vocals shared by RATM’s frontman Zach de la Rocha. Her raspy voice and astounding stage presence are what make this band different than other tribute bands.
During the show, Lyles spoke about the self-titled Rage Against the Machine album and agrees that it still resonates today.
As of now, Rage Against the Machine is on an indefinite hiatus. So if you want to hear the musical stylings of the band, check out Take The Power Back. Their performance is as close to the real RATM audiences can experience.
