Kurt Vile covers The Clash for Google Play’s “Audio Ammunition” (playing Union Transfer on 10/26)

Photo by Abi Reimold | abireimoldphoto.com As a supplement to the recent reissues of classic Clash albums, Google Play has gathered together four contemporary musicians who draw influence from the legendary English punk band for a series of cover songs.  Kurt Vile & The Violators contributed their take on 1979’s “The Guns of Brixton” to the effort, captured in the video below and compiled alongside covers by Thao & The Get Down Stay Down, Surfer Blood and Slipknot’s Corey Taylor.  Check out the Philly band’s rendition and get limited-time free download of the MP3 here.  Vile plays Union Transfer on October 26th; tickets and information can be found here.
