When ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead announced their recent record, Lost Songs, the band dedicated its track "Up to Infinity" to Pussy Riot, noting that the music was "inspired by the apathy to real world events that has plagued the independent music scene now for over a decade." Fittingly, members of the group have now teamed up with members the Coathangers, under the name Thee Deadcoats, to cover Pussy Riot's "Putin Lights Up the Fires". Listen above, via Prefix.
Proceeds from the single, available at Bandcamp as a pay-what-you-wish download, will be donated half to Pussy Riot's legal defense, and half to the American Red Cross Hurricane Sandy Relief fund. The single also includes a remix by Hercules and Love Affair's Whitney Fierce as Asima LaChrome.
