The Big Push - Guns of Brixton (The Clash cover)

England for the time being hasn't been hit as hard as other countries with the Corona virus but it's predicted it will be soon, so last week we took to the streets of Brighton for our last busk until everything has blown over.
We will be self isolating to ensure the safety of the old and vulnerable in our community!
We love you guys!
Stay safe, wash those hands, and keep up the community spirit.
Make sure to follow us on Instagram and KZbin where we will be doing lots of live streaming gigs to cheer everyone up during this weird time.

You know, one of my best friends passed almost 2 years ago. He played drums and I played guitar. We were always trying to get some kind of band or other together. A lot of times it was more hanging out and jamming and getting baked, but he loved interesting and exciting music and really understood it too. I genuinely regret that I did not get to share you guys with him. That's how good and how talented you all are. I don't even know what to say other than you lot genuinely give me hope. Godspeed, gentlemen.

Back in 78 at the age of 15, Punk (in particular, The Clash & The Dickies) exploded into my life. After falling down the Ren rabbit hole I stumble across this. I have granted myself permission to have a semi. Should you ever resume, SLF's version of Johnny Was would be another belter of a track to cover.

Tim Armstrong has not approached you guys. He is a sister label from epitaph he’s called hellcat records they let you do whatever they want. He was an operation ivy, the clash signed onto hellcat at the very end Joe Strummer passed the punk rock warlock down to Tim and Lars they will not control you they will help youlook up their bands wow I think that Tim would absolutely love. Love you. He covers this song too.
