The Zipheads And Nosebleed Team Up With The Joe Strummer Foundation!

The Zipheads and Nosebleed, have teamed up  with the ‘Joe Strummer Foundation’ to release a song each from The Clash’s back catalogue in their own raucous styles, raising money to provide opportunities to musicians and support to projects around the world that create empowerment through music.

The Zipheads contribution is a radical reworking of the Clash’s single ‘Bankrobber’. Guitarist Ray explains- ”The Clash have always been my favourite band. All the different styles and influences that shape our sound namely Rockabilly, Reggae, Punk- we discovered all of that through the Clash. We recorded this as an Albert Lee-style upbeat Country number and it seemed to work!! We’re all so proud to be working with the ‘Joe Strummer Foundation’ and hopefully this single can help them with the all good work that they do.”

Nosebleed contribute their treatment of Clash’s ‘Train In Vain’. Bassist Ben says ”Since I was small, I’ve always had the Clash in my life coz my dad has been into Punk since it started. We’re really proud to be helping the ‘Joe Strummer Foundation’ and contributing to them bringing music into the lives of future generations. Joe Strummer and The Clash are so important to so many people – the diversity of the sounds and influences they brought into their music is inspirational.”

Both tracks will be released by Bomber Music across all digital platforms on the 8th May 2020. All profits from the release will go to The Joe Strummer Foundation who provide opportunities to musicians and support to projects around the world that create empowerment through music.
