The Problem of Leisure: A Celebration of Andy Gill and Gang of Four is out in June and we've heard a few tracks from it so far, including remixes and reworks from Tom Morello & Serj Tankian, Warpaint and Massive Attack's 3-D. Now here's a very crunchy cover of Solid Gold classic "In the Ditch" from NYC alt-metal vets Helmet.
Helmet frontman Page Hamilton is a longtime Gang of Four devotee and actually wrote the liner notes to the '90s reissue of Solid Gold that came out on Henry Rollins & Rick Rubin's Infinite Zero label. "I don’t remember what I wrote but I know It was glowing, corny and fanboy. Their songs, feel, energy, inventiveness made an indelible imprint on my musical soul."
