Ben Gibbard, Ted Leo on Soundtrack of Clash Doc

Ben Gibbard, Ted Leo, Mos Def and Radio 4 will contribute songs to the upcoming documentary, Let Fury Have the Hour, based on the 2004 book by Antonino D’Ambrosio, according to an article on Billboard.com.

The film version expands on the book's exploration of the political impact of the Clash’s music, including other politically conscious artists such as Manu Chao and Rachid Taha.

D’Ambrosio hopes to have the documentary ready for release by next year’s presidential election.
