Podunkian Music Club

The Clash-London Calling

With all the excitement in the UK over the last few days, we felt it was time to bring out one of England's best exports of the late seventies and early eighties.

While their music was formed in the tumult of England of seventies, an era of class warfare to extreme measures. Things weren't as complicated as they seem today for that part of the world.

As for the Clash, they represented the underclass of England, struggling for a bit of respect, a decent job and a spot in the line with the rest of society.

The music was fast, angry, urgent and simply wonderful. They ruled the punk and rock world for a short time before the inevitable differences would slay their sound like many other bands of the era, but while they were kicking out the sounds, there were few that could keep up the pace with them.
