US band Rage Against The Machine made quite a statement when they released ‘Killing in the Name’ back in 1992, namely for their use of profanity and for covering themes of institutional racism and police brutality.
However, the French band The Wackids translated the tone of the rap metal hit into something altogether different thanks to their unusual choice of instruments.
The Bordeaux three-piece exclusively use children’s toys in all of their covers, their “instruments” of choice for ‘Killing in the Name’ being a mini electric guitar, Spiderman drums, and an otamatone, which is a Japanese toy synthesiser.
