Band Biography
Another profoundly influential Punk band, The Clash were very political, and featured many different influences in their sound, including Reggae. Their album London Calling is considered one of the most important punk albums ever (if not of the whole of rock). They broke up in 1986, and formed a few different bands, most notably Big Audio Dynamite and Joe Strummer And The Mescaleros. Joe Strummer died in 2002.
