The Clash

The Clash were formed in 1976 and were a mix of punk with rock 'n' roll and hints of ska and reggae. Their most famous and influential song was 'London Calling' which they released in 1979 which still gets air play now. The band led a short career with only 10 years in the music industry after members kept leaving and making rifts within the band. They were fiercely involved in politics and were dubbed "Thinking Man's Yobs" by NME and found solidarity with a number with a number of contemporary liberation movements.
