Like many of our generation, The Clash were OUR band in our formative years.  We lived through school and life with The Clash leading the way, and have yet to experience a more thrilling or better concert than their 1979 show at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium (their second show ever in the US).  Joe Strummer, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon and Topper Headon could do no wrong in our book.  And that feeling persists to this day.  So we were thrilled to learn that the band would release a massive new, all-encompassing box-set this week entitled Sound System.

To coincide with the release of the new box-set, Google Plus has produced a new documentary on the band entitled Audio Ammunition, which includes never-before-seen footage of the band and interviews concerning each of their incendiary albums.  You can see it in five parts below.  In addition, Google Plus is releasing various videos of other artists covering Clash songs.  So far the pick of the litter (somewhat surprisingly) is Kurt Vile’s take on the politically-charged Guns of Brixton.  Check it out at bottom following Audio Ammunition.
