  • The Clash and Mass Media Messages from the Only Band That Matters
    THE CLASH AND MASS MEDIA MESSAGES FROM THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS Sean Xavier Ahern A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2012 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Kristen Rudisill © 2012 Sean Xavier Ahern All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This thesis analyzes the music of the British punk rock band The Clash through the use of media imagery in popular music in an effort to inform listeners of contemporary news items. I propose to look at the punk rock band The Clash not solely as a first wave English punk rock band but rather as a “news-giving” group as presented during their interview on the Tom Snyder show in 1981. I argue that the band’s use of communication metaphors and imagery in their songs and album art helped to communicate with their audience in a way that their contemporaries were unable to. Broken down into four chapters, I look at each of the major releases by the band in chronological order as they progressed from a London punk band to a globally known popular rock act. Viewing The Clash as a “news giving” punk rock band that inundated their lyrics, music videos and live performances with communication images, The Clash used their position as a popular act to inform their audience, asking them to question their surroundings and “know your rights.” iv For Pat and Zach Ahern Go Easy, Step Lightly, Stay Free. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the help of many, many people.

  • Press, Calling for Rock to Be a Force Against Racism
    FEATURING RED SAUNDERS THE CLASH POLY STYRENE ROGER HUDDLE STEEL PULSE SHAM 69 KATE WEBB TOM ROBINSON ALIEN KULTURE SYNOPSIS Britain, late-1970s. Punk is exploding. The country is deeply divided over immigration. The National Front, a far-right and fascist political party, is gaining strength as politicians like Enoch Powell push a xenophobic agenda. Outraged by a racist speech from Eric Clapton, music photographer Red Saunders writes a letter to the music press, calling for rock to be a force against racism. NME, Melody Maker, and Sounds all publish the letter. Flooded with responses, Red discovers many share his views. Teaming up with like-minded creatives Roger Huddle, Kate Webb, Syd Shelton and Australian graphic designer Ruth Gregory, the team bands together to create Rock Against Racism (RAR) and a fanzine, Temporary Hoarding. Speaking directly to the youth, Temporary Hoarding reports stories and issues that the mainstream British media ignores, like immigration, the Catholic side of the Northern Ireland confict, and the police’s controversial “suspected persons” (sus) powers. They give a voice to the voiceless. The National Front begins to strike back, committing acts of violence against RAR supporters and petrol-bombing their HQ. Despite this, RAR spreads virally across the UK and into Europe, becoming a grassroots youth movement. The Clash, Steel Pulse, Tom Robinson and other top bands of the day jump on board. White Riot is a moment in time when music changed the world. When a generation challenged the status quo. It’s Woodstock meets the March on Washington, punk-style. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT I began making White Riot as I was curious about the rise of the far right in the late 1970s.

    Rare and Collectable Vinyl Records - Live From Earlestown (A159) Tue, 25th May 2021 Lot 344 Estimate: £5000 - £10000 + Fees THE CLASH - 'RAT PATROL FROM FORT BRAG' ACETATE LP (THE ORIGINAL COMBAT ROCK!) THE CLASH - 'RAT PATROL FROM FORT BRAG' ACETATE LP (THE ORIGINAL COMBAT ROCK!). An incredible piece of Punk history with this original (US Masterdisk) acetate recording of the album that would become 'Combat Rock'. Dated 1/24/82, these 2 x remarkably clean single sided acetate LPs are the very original versions of the tracks that were going to be released as an album called 'Rat Patrol From Fort Bragg'. However, with artistic differences and tensions in the band already simmering, producer Glyn Johns along with Joe Strummer 'completed' the sessions for the album (much to the annoyance of Mick Jones who had penned much of the original material) and the changes made would eventually lead to the breakup of the band. Record one contains 5 tracks, with 'Straight To Hell', 'Know Your Rights', 'Rock The Casbah', 'Red Angel Dragnet' longer than the later commercially released versions. Record 2 contains 6 tracks with the tracks either different in length or indeed not on the final commercial release (Fulham Connection and First Nite London Back In London). The acetate LPs are in fantastic Ex condition. The playing sides show only a couple of extremely minor and wispy hairline marks, with both records playing through extremely well with only occasionally a little surface noise. There is no deterioration or any real wear to the aluminium lacuer. With printed Masterdisk labels, the tracks titles and timings are listed, 'T11221' is machine stamped on the non-playing side of record 1 (this is not present on record 2).

  • Music 262: British Punk
    Music 262: British Punk [MUSIC PLAYING] SPEAKER: So punk rock eventually made its way to Britain. How this happened was this guy, Malcolm McLaren, who was a store owner-- he was in New York. He was around this scene-- the Velvet Underground, Television, the Ramones. And he really got the idea to bring this back to the UK. And his idea was to create a shop that sold this S&M type clothing and this sort of sex shop. And he put it in London. And he brought this whole aesthetic of punk rock to London, through fashion. So this became a place where these young kids in London would hang out, because they had, really, no other place to go. There was an economic recession at the time, and most young people in England, at the time, didn't have jobs. And so these young people would hang out in his shop where he sold these S&M clothes-- at times, even steal from him. It was sort of a scene. And so he got the idea-- he knows a number of his customers, about four of them, and talked them all into creating a punk rock band. This band became known as the Sex Pistols. And McLaren, of course, became the Sex Pistol's manager. So the Sex Pistols, really, were this far-out punk rock group. They took punk to the extreme. They would do crazy things onstage. They were very rude in their demeanor. They were very anti-British. They really represented their generation in Britain at the time.

  • The Clash and Fugazi: Punk Paths Toward Revolution
    Chapter 1 The Clash and Fugazi: Punk Paths Toward Revolution Mark Andersen Punk rock has always been about more than music. Born largely as a reaction to the self-indulgent excesses and perceived failure of the Sixties rock/revolution, punk offered a blistering critique of idealism sold out or gone bad. This stance was a double-edged sword. Punk's "ruthless criticism of everything existing" (Tucker 1978, 13) spared no one, and could slip towards nihilist extremes. As such, it made the idea of harnessing music for radical change an ever more perilous venture, where only angels or fools might dare to tread. Beneath noisy blasts of illusion-shattering negation, however, an unbending belief in the power of music to generate transformation still lurked. This sense of mission defined no band­ punk or otherwise-more profoundly than The Clash. Dubbed "The Only Band That Matters" by record company PR, the moniker nonetheless accurately evoked the risk-taking heroic spirit the band sought to embody. If the early Clash track "Hate And War" encapsulated the band's dismissal of the 1960s, they nonetheless borrowed freely from certain currents of that era. Indeed, their jagged, relentless music, close-cropped hair, quasi-military garb, and fierce sense of purpose suggested nothing less than a marriage of Detroit agit-rock legends MC5 with the Chinese Cultural Revolution. If their embrace by the punk underground proved short-lived as the band stretched towards broader horizons, The Clash never fully forsook that initial commitment or community. Many bands rose in the wake of The Clash also willing to risk the ridicule that might come with marrying rock to the pursuit of revolution.

  • "The Future Is Unwritten": the Clash, Punk and America, 1977-1982
    "The Future is Unwritten": The Clash, Punk and America, 1977-1982 Kenneth J. Bindas "There'sno future," the Sex Pistols' Johnny Rottensangin early 1976. Many who called themselves "punk" saw no hope in the future as they reacted against the perceived failures of their elders and pessimistically viewed the future. The Pistols sparked the punk movement, but their quick demise enabled another English band, the Clash, to become a leader of the fragmented movement and move punk ideology beyond the Pistols' anarchic rage and despair to one that hoped "the future is unwritten." The story of the Clash from 1977 to 1982 illustrates the conflicting ideology of the punks, who believed on the one hand that state and corporate control had created a new dark age, while on the other that human beings could prevail and create a more open and egalitarian society. Yet, although the punk style persisted into the 1980s, the American audience proved unreceptive to the Clash's vision of an egalitarian future and it vanished beneath the market pressures they had themselves denounced.1 Punk arose in England during 1976 in the midst of a terrible recession that appeared to many English youth as the failure of the British socio-economic system. More than one million persons were out of work and the inflation rate soared above 18 percent; The New Statesman estimated that 35 percent of those under twenty-five years of age were unemployed. After graduation at sixteen, thousands of young people immediately went on the dole, which quickly symbolized the problems in Britain.2 Bernard Rhodes, who worked with Sex Pistols creator Malcolm McLaren and who later managed the Clash, described the times: 0G26-3079/93/3401-069$1.50A) 69 ..
