Please take a moment to check out Rock the Casbah – an EP by Ranking Roger & Dopegrinders featuring 5 rare and collaborative tracks with Joe Strummer and the Clash. All profits from the sales will go to Strummerville – The Joe Strummer New Music Foundation. Strummerville promotes Joe’s legacy of creativity and compassion by funding music programs for underserved communities around the world, a philosophy that I shared with Joe and share with his widow Lucinda who runs the operation. Music, like art, inspires and empowers and I’m happy to support the Strummerville charity, please show your support as well! You can pre-order the EP now exclusively through PledgeMusic; it releases in December 2014, which marks the 12-year anniversary of Joe’s death. Thank you for caring, we miss you Joe!

Take advantage of the opportunity to hear these rare tracks which serve as obscure pieces of Clash / Ranking Roger history. These tracks revisit collaborative versions of Rock the Casbah, originally explored by Roger and the Clash whilst on the road, versions that previously never made the light of day.
