The original is one of my most favoritest Clash songs ev-ar, but this take is not bad at all.
Brixton is an area of South London known for it's Afro-Caribbean community. Paul Simonon, AKA bassist for The Clash, grew up there and wrote a song about armed resistance in a society with strict weapons laws.
Only The Arcade fire could take the bass out of this song and keep true to its soul.
