The Clash were an English rock band that formed in London in 1976 and were key players in the original wave of British punk rock. Billed as "The Only Band That Matters", they used elements of reggae, dub, funk, ska, and rockabilly, and they contributed to the post-punk and new wave movements that followed punk.

By the time The Clash approached a new decade of the eighties, they had already slammed through a series of different musical styles. They had taken on punk, reggae, dub, ska and rockabilly and on ‘The Magnificent Seven’ they even dabble in hip-hop. Strummer, having spent a lot of time in New York, jumped on the microphone and became a rap-pioneer,...
Recruiting Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry to produce ‘Complete Control’ was not only a genius move but a middle finger to their record label CBS. The label had released the band’s song ‘Remote Control’ as a single without the group’s knowledge and so they decided to kick back the only way they knew how… in song. Perry on production is a marvel and the song is...
There’s a lot of enjoyment to be taken from ‘Straight to Hell’ and there’s no doubt that Topper Headon’s bossa nova rhythm on the drums is infectious. Featured on the band’s lesser-celebrated Combat Rock, the single breaks out from the rest of the album as a politically-charged number. Joe Strummer was never far away from making a point and he beli...
If there’s one song to separate the cream of the crop in regards to the band’s fans then it will probably be this track. A divisive song, as often a band’s most popular songs are, this number has been oddly shunned by the band’s ultras. Written by Topper Headon, the song is imbued with a canny sense of funk that shouldn’t be overlooked. Naturally, ...
A ferocious and potent song Mick Jones wrote for his longtime friend, Crocker, which still has a habit of making us well-up with the purity of childhood friendship. The friends had been separated for a time while Crocker served out a sentence for robbing a bank and Jones wrote a song for his incarcerated friend. “One evening he came over with an ac...
Sometimes it’s refreshing to get a new perspective on a song and this classic Strummer-penned track was given a breath of fresh air by Mick Jones’ vocal. Somehow, his softer tone allows the imagery of the track to become far more vivid. Strummer chose to use the song to take aim at the surge of advertising that had been swelling around the globe as...
Before The Clash, Strummer was the leading man in the 101’ers, a pub rock band who welcomed the long hair and free-flowing rock of The Who as influences. But after punk began to explode and Strummer caught a glimpse of the Sex Pistols everything changed. It saw The Clash rework this song from Strummer’s days in the pub-rock adjacent 101’ers and all...
‘Clampdown’, which was written by Strummer and Mick Jones, refers heavily to the failures of capitalist society and how people seemingly become trapped within the traditional ethos of work, debt and conformist society. Bass player and Clash co-founder Paul Simonon, in an interview with the LA Times, spoke about the opportunities available to him af...
Featuring on the band’s seminal album London Calling, the melody of ‘Spanish Bombs’ could be lifted straight from the glory days of pop. It is supercharged with pop sensibilities only to be scythed down with some of the band’s most obviously political lyrics. The juxtaposition of the glossy sound with Strummer’s war-torn words turns the track into ...
To feature a cover on your debut album is one thing but to feature a relatively unknown cover on your debut punk album is a deliberate thumb to the nose of the genre’s soon-to-be-adopted principles. Paradoxically, tearing up those principles is an extremely punk thing to do—it’s all very confusing. What isn’t confusing, however, is The Clash’s quit...
- Cut The Crap (1985) If there was any justice in the world, right now, somewhere on a street corner in England someone would be holding Bernie Rhodes by the collar and kicking him repeatedly up the arse for what he did to Cut The Crap.
- From Here To Eternity (1999)/Live At Shea Stadium (2008) Recorded at various gigs between 1978 and 1982 but not released until 1999, From Here To Eternity was The Clash’s first official live album.
- Black Market Clash (1980)/Super Black Market Clash (1993) Black Market Clash – originally released on 10” in the US and Canada – collected Clash b-sides and rarities in a collection as good as any proper studio album.
- Combat Rock (1982) It’s easy to damn Combat Rock with faint praise. It was intended as a double album but after the commercial failure of Sandinista! , CBS brought in Glyn Jones and the editing process began.
May 15, 2024 · The Clash. Super Black Market Clash. CBS, 1980. Expanded from a 10-inch vinyl LP, Black Market Clash – featuring early rarities, notably the 1977 NME freebie version of Capital Radio – Super BMC was re-tooled in the early ’90s to serve as a CD B-sides compilation.
