Tom Morello and Pussy Riot have joined forces for a new song and music video. “Weather Strike” is a protest song they co-wrote, and it arrives with a new video directed by Ksti Hu. Watch it below.

“Pussy Riot is one of the most radical and important activist musical groups of all time,” Morello said in a statement. “Their fearless blending of art and confrontation is a constant inspiration and it’s an honor to combine forces on this powerful, revolutionary track ‘Weather Strike.’” Nadya Tolokonnikova added:

Both for Tom and me politics has been always closely intertwined with our music, like two sides of a Möbius strip. It’s an honor to collaborate and be friends with Tom. I feel strong, empowered, supported, seen, respected, when I work with Tom, I fell that we’re forming a good part of a revolutionary art army together, true allies and comrades.

“Weather Strike” is a dreamy, utopian track for me, we loudly proclaim the future we want to see: alternative systems of public safety where police violence is no longer an issue, an ultimate joy of rebellion and rejecting injustice, and also I sing about my dream to turn the main FSB (ex-KGB) building into an immersive museum where we’re going to learn about dark moments of Russian history—I’ll make it happen when Putin is not longer in power.
