Alright folks, hold onto your mohawks and leather jackets because we’ve got some exciting news for you punk rock aficionados out there on this, ‘International Clash Day.’ Shared Medium, the cool cats of the arts scene, are dropping a bombshell of an album – Hearts & Minds & Crooked Beats: Songs of The Clash – paying tribute to the legendary punk rock band, The Clash.
First things first, mark your calendars because this bad boy is hitting the streets on what has been coined ‘International Clash Day’. It’s not just your run-of-the-mill album release, though. Nope, this one’s got a heart as big as Joe Strummer’s, because it’s all about supporting the International Rescue Committee (IRC). These folks are the real heroes, helping out those in dire need when the world goes topsy-turvy with conflict and disaster. And this time around, the funds are going to Palestinian civilians who could really use a helping hand.
Hearts & Minds & Crooked Beats isn’t just your typical cover album. It’s a melting pot of creativity, with bands and visual artists alike pouring their souls into honoring The Clash’s legacy. With names like The Dandy Warhols, Mirah, and Teke::Teke on the roster, you know you’re in for a wild ride. And to top it all off, it’s been mastered by the one and only Ted Jensen, a legend in his own right.
But wait, there’s more! To really kick things up a notch, Shared Medium is throwing release concerts in Seattle and New York City. Picture this: a room filled with energy, live performances that’ll make your heart race, and visual displays that pay homage to The Clash’s rebellious spirit. It’s like stepping into a time machine and landing smack dab in the middle of punk rock paradise.
So, what are you waiting for? Grab your safety pins and get ready to rock out because Hearts & Minds & Crooked Beats: Songs of The Clash is about to drop, and it’s all for a darn good cause. Long live The Clash, and long live punk rock!
