Hinds: Spanish Bombs
Madrid 4-piece Hinds – Carlotta Cosials, Ana Perrotte, Ade Martin and Amber Grimbergen follow up their critically lauded third album The Prettiest Curse with a deliciously raucous version of The Clash’s perennial classic “Spanish Bombs”.
Already a rowdy staple in their incendiary live sets, Hinds manage to take a much loved original and infuse it with their own insouciant, carefree spirit, turning it into something gloriously spiky, defiant and new; rebels with a cause for a whole new generation.
From Carlotta:
we’ve always loved doing covers. maybe ’cause it’s the way we started, or maybe because there are so many good songs in the world already that we wish we had written! and we really enjoy hindsifying them heheh. the clash were my mom’s forever favourite band and ade’s parents also, so it is always beautiful to connect generations through music.
?as spaniards, we don’t usually get shout outs in songs, like “new york” or “london”, so the clash writing a song about our civil war made us feel honoured. we recorded it the last day of studio, pretty much live, while recording our third album.
