LET FURY HAVE THE HOUR is a collection of Clash songs re-created in a unique way.  My aim is to honor the Only Band That Matters; The Clash with Joe Strummer, Paul Simonen, Mick Jones, Topper Headen, Terry Chimes... a band like no other before or since.

I will release the tunes on digital distro by Dec. 1st just in time to honor the great Joe Strummer who passed 19 years before in Dec 2002.

Let Fury Have The Hour

This is a cover by The Clash with lyrics written by Joe Strummer.  It will be part of a 10 song song record that will honor one of the 20th century's greatest song writer's, Joe Strummer.

My daddy was a bankrobber
But he never hurt nobody
He just loved to live that way
And he loved to steal your money

Some is rich, and some is poor
That's the way the world is
But I don't believe in lying back
Sayin' how bad your luck is

So we came to jazz it up
We never loved a shovel
Break your back to earn your pay
An' don't forget to grovel

Daddy was a bankrobber
But he never hurt nobody
He just loved to live that way
And he loved to take your money

The old man spoke up in a bar
Said I never been in prison
A lifetime serving one machine
Is ten times worse than prison

Imagine if all the boys in jail
Could get out now together
Whadda you think they'd want to say to us
While we was being clever

Someday you'll meet your rocking chair
Cos that's where we're spinning
There's no point to wanna comb your hair
When it's grey and thinning 

Daddy was a bankrobber
But he never hurt nobody
He just loved to live that way
And he loved to steal your money

Hey, run Joe run
Get away get away get away

Hey strike out boys 
For the hills
And I can't find that hole in the wall
And I never will

Daddy was a bankrobber
Who never hurt nobody
He just loved to live that way
And he loved to steal your money

Strummer Rides Again Vol. 1

Bankrobber

This is a cover of one of the greatest songs by The Clash.   Featuring Joan Silentio on vocals with Johnny Punish

Midnight to six man
For the first time from Jamaica
Dillinger and leroy smart
Delroy wilson, your cool operator
Ken boothe for UK pop reggae
With backing bands sound systems
If they've got anything to say
There's many black ears here to listen
But it was four tops all night with encores from stage righten (wooh, ooh, ooh)
Charging from the bass knives to the treble (wooh, ooh, ooh)
But onstage they ain't got no roots rock rebel (wooh, ooh, ooh)
Onstage they ain't got no roots rock rebel
Dress back jump back this is a bluebeat attack
'Cos it won't get you anywhere
Fooling with the gun
The british army is waiting out there
An' it weighs fifteen hundred tons
White youth, black youth
Better find another solution
Why not phone up robin hood
And ask him for some wealth distribution
Punk rockers in the UK
They won't notice anyway
They're all too busy fighting
For a good place under the lighting
The new groups are not concerned
With what there is to be learned
They got burton suits, huh, you think it's funny
Turning rebellion into money
All over people changing their votes
Along with their overcoats
If Adolf Hitler flew in today
They'd send a limousine anyway
I'm the all night drug-prowling wolf
Who looks so sick in the sun
I'm the white man in the palais
Just loo- lookin' for fun
Only lookin' for fun
Oh, please mister
Just leave me alone
I'm only
Lookin' for fun
Lookin' for fun
F, U, N

White Man In Hammersmith Palais

White Man In Hammersmith Palais (feat. Joan Silentio)

A unique cover of The Clash's masterpiece "London Calling".  

I created this version with 105 beats per minute, much slower than the original at 136 giving it a slower contemporary feel; good with coffee! So don't worry!

This song is part of a greater art piece I am doing called LET FURY HAVE THE HOUR; a collection of Clash songs re-created in a unique way. My aim is to honor the Only Band That Matters; The Clash with Joe Strummer, Paul Simonen, Mick Jones, Topper Headen, Terry Chimes... a band like no other before or since.

I will release on digital distro by Dec. 1st just in time to honor the great Joe Strummer who passed 19 years before in Dec 2002

London Calling

London Calling I

Spanish Bombs is a unique cover of the classic masterpiece by The Clash.

SPANISH SONGS in Andalucía
The shooting sites IN THE DAYS OF 39
OH PLEASE LEAVE the ventena open
Federico Lorca is DEAD AND GONE
Bullet holes in the cemetery walls
The black cars of THE GUARDIA CIVIL
SPANISH BOMBS on the Costa Rica
I'M FLYING IN ON A DC 10 TONIGHT

Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito
Yo te quiero, oh mi corazón
Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito
Yo te quiero, oh mi corazón

SPANISH WEEKS in my disco casino
The freedom fighters DIED UP ON THE HILL
THEY SANG THE RED FLAG
They wore the black one
After they died it was MOCKINGBIRD HILL
BACK HOME THE BUSES went up in flashes
Irish tomb was DRENCHED IN BLOOD
SPANISH BOMBS shatter the hotels
MY SENORITA'S ROSE WAS NIPPED IN THE BUD

Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito
Yo te quiero, oh mi corazón
Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito
Yo te quiero, oh mi corazón

THE HILLSIDES RING WITH Free the people
Or can I hear the echo from THE DAYS OF 39
TRENCHES FULL OF POETS
A ragged army fixin' bayonets TO FIGHT THE OTHER LINE
SPANISH BOMBS rock the province
I'm hearing music FROM ANOTHER TIME
SPANISH BOMBS Costa Brava
I'M FLYING IN ON A DC 10 TONIGHT

Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito
Yo te quiero, oh mi corazón
Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito
Yo te quiero, oh mi corazón
Oh mi corazón, oh mi corazón

SPANISH SONGS IN ANDALUCIA Mandolina OH MI CORAZON
Spanish songs in Granada, oh mi corazón
Oh mi corazón, oh mi corazón
Oh mi corazón

He's in love with rock 'n' roll whoa         
He's in love with gettin' stoned whoa
He's in love with Janie Jones whoa       
But he don't like his boring job

He's in love with rock 'n' roll whoa
He's in love with gettin' stoned whoa
He's in love with Janie Jones whoa
But he don't like his boring job

And he knows what he's got to do
He knows he's goin' have fun with you
  You lucky lady!
And he knows when the evening comes
When his job is done he'll be over in his car for you
  Getter Out GI Joe

He's in love with rock 'n' roll whoa
He's in love with gettin' stoned whoa
He's in love with Janie Jones whoa
But he don't like his boring job

And in the in-box lots of work
But the boss at the firm always thinks he shirks
   Get off the Facebook man!
But he's just like everyone
He's got a Ford Cortina that just won't run without fuel
   Fill 'er up, Johnny!

He's in love with rock 'n' roll whoa
He's in love with gettin' stoned whoa
He's in love with Janie Jones whoa
But he don't like his boring job

And the invoice it don't quite fit
There's no payola in his pandora file
  'Cept for the government man!
This time he's gonna really tell the boss
He's gonna really let him know exactly how he feels
   It's pretty bad!

He's in love with rock 'n' roll whoa
He's in love with gettin' stoned whoa
He's in love with Janie Jones whoa
But he don't like his boring job

He's in love with rock 'n' roll whoa
He's in love with gettin' stoned whoa
He's in love with Janie Jones whoa
But he don't like his boring ....
      
No-o-o  No-o-o  No-o-o  
Let them know
Let them know

PunishMedia

ASCAP member Punish songs have appeared in movies such as Paul Bright’s 2012  sci-fi indie movie “Goliad Uprising” (Cup of Joe, The Magnificent Afghanistan, and Gaza City).  IMDB.com

Punish has done other media including the locally famous and high acclaimed Bad Brad and Johnny Punish Show; a music talk radio podcast show at the Mojo Zone Studio in Playa del Carmen Mexico (2006).

For his “day job”, as CEO, he runs a global media company serving up global foreign affairs issues and news on domestic U.S. policies partnering with other outgoing media and peoples of like mind and spirit.

PunishEcoProjects

Punish is currently working on building and promoting his signature eco-building project, Hacienda Eco-Domes; a Bed and Breakfast seeking 100% self-sustainability using dirt and plastic bags along with solar power, recycled water, and other eco-techniques that make cents.

PunishOrigins

Born in Bronx NYC, USA 1963 to a mother from the Holy Land and an Italian American father from Brooklyn New York, Punish considers his nationality as the whole world. A self-declared global citizen pledging allegiance to the earth and everyone on it, Punish reaches out to all mankind for peace, harmony, and justice.

Educated at the University of Nevada Las Vegas in the USA and within the California State University system, Punish knew business well and spent his early adulthood chasing green checks and the “American Dream”. Feeling misled and empty, in the mid-90s, Punish checked out of the material world and into the realm of reason, enlightenment, and humanity and he’s never looked back.

In the so-called third world, Punish chose to work with underprivileged communities where he currently lives donating his time with kids sports and other community activities that add value to the overall global tribe.

Married for over 30 years with grown children and grandkids, Punish is no longer at war with the world but a family man who lives in peace on a dirt road with chickens. Through his music, writings, and community activities, Punish continues his fight for global justice, human dignity, and respect.

So if you’re a fan of the common man; a passionate person and activist, get back on the Punish bandwagon. Just remember to jump when it’s looking like he’s driving it off the cliff again!  Just sayin’.
