Modern Musicology #138 - THE CLASH

THE CLASH

This week Rob and Alan chat with author Iain Key about his new book All the Young Punks: A People’s History of the Clash, an oral history of one of the most seminal bands in modern music. Iain is well-known to Louder Than War regulars as the presenter of his own Indie Brunch show on Louder Than War Radio, and in his first foray as a published author, he indulges his fascination with his favourite Punk icons to great effect. In our discussion, we talk about what made the Clash unique, why they connected with such a broad audience, their rise in popularity in America, and a whole lot more. 

The book is published by Spenwood Books. You can get more information and purchase your copy on All the Young Punks: A People’s History of the Clash by visiting the publisher’s website
