The Clash

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

The Sex Pistols may have been the first British punk rock band, but the Clash were the definitive British punk rockers. Where the Pistols were nihilistic, the Clash were fiery and idealistic, charged with righteousness and a leftist political ideology. From the outset, the band was more musically adventurous, expanding its hard rock & roll with reggae, dub, and rockabilly among other roots musics. Furthermore, they were blessed with two exceptional songwriters in Joe Strummer and Mick Jones, each with a distinctive voice and style. The Clash co...[more]

 

 

VINYL FORMAT. Give 'Em Enough Rope, for all of its many attributes, was essentially a holding pattern for the Clash, but the double-album London Calling is a remarkable leap forward, incorporating the punk aesthetic into rock & roll mythology and roots music. Before, the Clash had experimented with reggae, but that was no preparation for the dizzying array of styles on London Calling. There's punk and reggae, but there's also rockabilly, ska, New Orleans R&B, pop, lounge jazz, and hard rock; and while the r   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. Recorded at New York's Shea Stadium in 1982, Live at Shea Stadium captures the band at the peak of its powers and in devastating form. Bristling with energy and attitude, Live at Shea Stadium is destined to feature alongside James Brown at the Apollo, The Who at Leeds and Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison as one of the greatest live recordings of all time! The Clash, opening for The Who on their farewell tour of the US, played two nights at the legendary Shea Stadium (12th & 13th Oct    [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. The Clashs' second album, made with American hard rock producer Sandy Pearlman (of Blue Oyster Cult fame). Although the pairing caused some uproar with the band's loyal punk following, Give 'Em Enough Rope was hardly the domesticated rock album that many feared it would be. Although noticeably cleaner sounding, it was still 100% Clash. Unstoppable!

VINYL FORMAT. "...the Clash's eponymous debut album was pure, unadulterated rage and fury, fueled by passion for both rock and roll and revolution. Though the cliche about punk rock was that the bands couldn't play, the key to the Clash is that although they gave that illusion, they really could play - hard. The charging, relentless rhythms, primitive three-chord rockers, and the poor sound quality give the album a nervy, vital energy. Joe Strummer's slurred wails perfectly compliment the edgy rock, while M   [ read more ]
