Embora o punk rock britânico seja geralmente associado apenas ao Sex Pistols, tão importantes quanto estes na definição e difusão do estilo foi a banda The Clash, menos baseada em atitude e mais baseada em conteúdo que seus companheiros de alfinetes no nariz. Enquanto os Sex Pistols pregavam anarquia pura e simples, o Clash mostrava em suas letras críticas sociais sutis e algum esquerdismo. Enquanto os Sex Pistols era apenas uma banda de rebeldes, o Clash era uma banda de rebeldes com uma causa. Musicalmente falando, o Clash foi capaz de evoluir bastante no decorrer de sua carreira, inclusive se aventurando em sonoridades diferentes do punk rock, flertando com o pop, reggae, ska e blues, abrindo caminho para a new wave. A banda que deu origem ao The Clash se chamava London SS, formada em 1975 pelos guitarristas Mick Jones e Keith Lavene (que mais tarde participaria do Public Image Limited de John Lyndow), o baixista Paul Simonon e o baterista Terry Chimes (Tory Crimes). Antes haviam passado pela banda o baterista Nicky Headon e o baixista Tony James (que mais tarde participaria das bandas Generation X e Sigue Sigue Sputnik). Chamaram para os vocais Joe Strummer (John Graham Mellor) que tocava com a banda 101'ers. O sexto homem da banda era o empresário Bernie Rhodes que sugeriu que a banda se apresentasse como guerrilheiros para chamar a atenção. A banda foi rebatizada de The Clash e logo convidada para abrir alguns shows dos Sex Pistols. Em 1977 foi gravado o primeiro disco pela CBS. No auge do movimento punk o álbum auto-intitulado rapidamente chegou ao topo das paradas inglesas. Com o segundo LP, Give 'Em Enough Rope de 1978, conseguiram finalmente alguma repercussão no mercado americano fazendo com que o primeiro LP fosse também lançado a nível mundial. Seguiram-se duas bem sucedidas turnês na América. A influência de novas sonoridades, principalmente o reggae, ficaria clara no terceiro LP, London Calling (curiosamente um LP duplo que foi vendido ao preço de LP simples, fato inédito até então). London Calling foi o maior sucesso comercial da banda. O experimentalismo foi ainda mais longe, incluindo instrumentos de sopro e eletrônicos. Enquanto a popularidade da banda crescia a nível mundial os fãs ingleses passavam a abandona-los e a banda consequentemente passava a se apresentar mais na América. Enquanto a popularidade do Clash declinava Mick Jones começava a despontar com sua nova banda, Big Audio Dinamite. Joe Strummer resolveu seguir o exemplo do ex-companheiro e acabar oficialmente com o The Clash, seguindo em carreira solo. Mais tarde viriam a trabalhar juntos novamente no Big Audio Dinamite.

While the British punk rock is usually associated only with Fri Pistols, as important as those in the definition and dissemination of the style was the band The Clash, based less attitude and more content-based than his fellows of pins in the nose. While the Fri Pistols preached pure and simple anarchy, the Clash showed in his lyrics and some subtle social criticism leftism. While the Fri Pistols was just a band of rebels, the Clash was a band of rebels with a cause. Musically speaking, the Clash was able to evolve a lot in the course of his career, including venturing into different sounds of punk rock, flirting with pop, reggae, ska and blues, making way for the new wave. The band formed The Clash was called London SS, formed in 1975 by guitarists Mick Jones and Keith Lavene (who later would participate in the Public Image Limited John Lyndow), bassist Paul Simonon and drummer Terry Chimes (Tory Crimes) . Before the band had spent the drummer Nicky Headon and bassist Tony James (later participate bands Generation X and Sigue Sigue Sputnik). Called for vocals Joe Strummer (John Graham Mellor) who played with the band 101'ers. The sixth man was the band's manager Bernie Rhodes who suggested the band was presented as guerrillas for attention. The band was renamed The Clash and soon invited to open some shows for Fri Pistols. In 1977 the first album was recorded by CBS. At the height of the punk movement's self-titled album quickly topped the UK charts. With the second LP, Give 'Em Enough Rope 1978 finally achieved some impact on the American market making the first LP was also released worldwide. Followed two successful tours in America. The influence of new sounds, especially reggae, become clear in the third LP, London Calling (interestingly a double LP that was sold at LP single, unprecedented until then). London Calling was the most commercially successful band. The experimentation has gone even further, including wind instruments and electronics. While the band's popularity grew worldwide English fans spent abandons them and consequently the band went to perform more in America. While the declining popularity of the Clash Mick Jones began to emerge with his new band Big Audio Dynamite. Joe Strummer decided to follow the example of former teammate and officially end the Clash, following a solo career. Would later work together again in Big Audio Dynamite. [Source: whiplash]
