They came off the hardscrabble streets of 1970s London. They lived in burned out buildings, played in the crowded pubs, and raged against the status quo. They were the British Punks. They cursed, they spit, they spray-painted their clothes, and sometimes they even cut themselves with razor blades during their raucous concerts. All along the way, they scared the bloody hell out of just about everybody in the entire British power structure.

The Clash is Born

One of the original British Punk bands was the Clash. The Clash was formed in May, 1976 by manager Bernie Rhodes when he teamed up guitarist Mick Jones and bassist Paul Simonon with the high-octane lead singer of London pub band The 101ers. His name was John Graham Mellor, but he called himself Joe Strummer.

The band added rhythm guitarist Keith Levene and drummer Terry Chimes during the summer, and began to play the dirtier pubs and smaller clubs throughout London and rural England. The initial reviews of the band were less than favorable. After seeing the Clash in August of 1976, rock journalist Charles Shaar Murray reviewed the group as follows: “the Clash are the kind of garage band who should be speedily returned to the garage, preferably with the motor running, which would undoubtedly be more of a loss to their friends and families than to either rock or roll.”
