Salt Lake Alley have covered The Clash 1980 single Bankrobber. The band write that “we tried to approach it like The Byrds approached Bob Dylan’s Mr Tambourine Man. In the end, it probably sounds more like the UK circa 1989 than Laurel Canyon circa 1965.” It’s not a bad effort, but it is never going to compete with the reggae fusion found on the original. Still, if it gets more people listening to The Clash, that isn’t a bad thing is it?

Bankrobber is out now digitally via Shelflife Records.
