about

Thirty-five years ago, The Clash released “Know Your Rights” as part of the Combat Rock album. It became an instant protest anthem raging against the problems of police violence, poverty, and the silencing of protest and critique. Now, founding member of The Specials, guitarist Lynval Golding, and Austin-based reggae band Contra Coup, led by Billy Geoghegan, have teamed up to produce a scorching reggae version of the Strummer classic.

Why this song, and what does it mean to record and release it in 2016? Lynval, whose band famously toured with The Clash in the 1978 “On Parole Tour,” puts it like this: “Quite simply, the song is still relevant thirty years later. I mean, we all sort of wish music like this would NOT be relevant politically, but really nothing has changed since then. It has the same importance and the same impact that it did when it was first released.”
