The Clash - Straight to Hell [LIVE]

Death or Glory Tribute to The Clash performing Straight to Hell LIVE at the Blind Pig, Sowerby Bridge on May 5th 2024.
Death or Glory are a young tribute to the only band that mattered - The Clash.
Formed on International Clash Day in 2023 by Tom Mannion, Death or Glory was created with the aim of creating a tribute to The Clash that is as like-for-like as possible. He was soon joined by Sam Smith, a Joe Strummer tribute act with an eye for detail and love for The Clash that matched that of Mannion. With the addition of Jack Newton’s razor sharp drums and the multi-faceted abilities of Matt Baron (Keys, Guitars, Harmonica, Percussion) the band had all the ingredients they needed to rereate the studio sound of The Clash in the live arena.
Early gigs in Manchester proved incredibly successful with attendances more than doubling with every gig and reviews and hype surrounding the band getting louder and louder. By the just the 4th show, they were playing to sell out crowds and the tour-de-force that is Death or Glory - Tribute to The Clash raced into 2024.
The band pride themselves on not just recreating the sound of The Clash but the look and feel too with equipment, stage antics, clothes and attitudes that match their counterparts delivering a sound and experience as close to the spirit of The Clash that you will ever see.
Death or Glory - Tribute to The Clash have just one aim; to keep the music, spirit and message of The Clash alive and in music venues for All the Young Punks (and not-so-young) to experience a show as close to the real thing as possible. Old punks of 77 call them “the closest I’ve ever seen to the real thing…and I’ve seen them all, including The Clash” whilst young punks marvel at a live show they never thought they’d get to see. If you’re looking for The Last Gang in Town, look no further.

There's not one song by The Clash I don't like, all of them are amazing!🎸🎸 I really like this song, but it must have been difficult to get together as it's probably the calmest song Joe Strummer has sang, normally he's full of energy on stage and sings with power and aggression. What an icon

[@richardbarry1625]

Seen so many Clash tribute acts, always looking for the best, i think ye are, you might not sound like joe but its the energy from ye, brilliant cover of straight to hell.

[@deathorgloryclashtribute]

Thank you Richard, we put a lot of effort to get this song right as most tribute bands tend not to touch it. It has to be done though in our opinion, and that’s why we have played it at every single gig we have done bar one

[@x1_prank0w36]

The best straight to hell cover i ever hear¡¡¡

[@deathorgloryclashtribute]

Wow, that a compliment, thank you! We do our best. The Menzingers do an amazing version too if you aren’t already familiar and MIA sampled it to perfection. Thanks again buddy

[@OurFamilyInMotion]

Let me be the first to tell you just how extraordinary this cover is. Along with the Menzingers cover, this is incredible. Great work!

[@deathorgloryclashtribute]

Wow. Thank you, that is in our top 5 covers of all time by anyone, huge Menzingers fan so that’s a high compliment to receive. Go well buddy

[@OurFamilyInMotion]

@@deathorgloryclashtribute Sure thing and thank you so much for helping keep The Clash music alive. The Menzingers cover of Straight To Hell may be my favorite cover by anyone of any song. It's that good. That took a different approach by reworking the arrangement highlighting the punk elements and it's so good. They seem to have found melodies in the song that I hadn't heard before. I also love your version which is more faithful to the original Clash version. So good as well. Such a great song and remains meaningful 42 years later.

[@deathorgloryclashtribute]
