Stereophonics Back Rage Against The Machine For Christmas No.1 Campaign

December 14, 2009
Stereophonics Back Rage Against The Machine For Christmas No.1 CampaignKelly Jones from the Stereophonics is the latest musician to give their endorsement for the Rage Against The Machine For Christmas No.1 campaign.

As well as attracting 720,000 members, the Facebook group set up by Tracy and Jon Morter to keep X Factor winner Joe McElderry off the top spot is attracting support from big names.

Following in the footsteps of The Prodigy and RATM's own Tom Morello, Kelly Jones told the Press Association: "I'm all for it - I think, you know, X Factor is a television show which is great, it's entertaining, you can't take it away from it, it's done really well and it's a big focus point for the nation every Saturday night, it is what it is, but on the other hand, there you've got music - so I think it's two different things."

'Killing In The Name' is second favourite for the singles top spot behind McElderry's cover of Miley Cyrus' 'The Climb'.

Those buying the Rage Against The Machine single have so far pledged £22,000 to the charity Shelter. If you'd like to make a donation, you can do so HERE.
