All The Young Punks : A People's History of The Clash
The Clash - Book - by Iain Key
(2025)
All The Young Punks is an oral history of The Clash. The Clash graduated
from sweaty London clubs in the punk explosion of 1976 to become an
internationally acclaimed rock act playing arenas and sports stadia.
With singer Joe Strummer at the helm and Mick Jones writing guitar riffs
that mixed glam rock with uptown Jamaica, The Clash turned the
excitement level up to 11 every time they hit the stage.
Remembered for Strummer’spolitical pronouncements, anthems like ‘White
Riot’, ‘Complete Control’ and ‘IFought The Law’ and hit singles
including ‘Bank Robber’, ‘Should I Stay OrShould I Go’ and ‘Rock The
Casbah’, The Clash were the only band that matteredfor a whole
generation. 40 years after they split comestheir story as over 300
fans recall almost 150 different shows. This book capturesin words the
sights no Clash fan will ever forget: the spittle-fuelled passion
ofsinger-guitarist Joe Strummer, hanging off the microphone stand whilst
stampinghis foot; guitarist Mick Jones racing back and forth across the
stage; PaulSimonon throwing shapes and a thunderous bass line into the
mix; and drummerTopper Headon holding it all together with a ‘boom boom’
six-gun beat. With a foreword by BillyBragg, this is a Clash book
unlike any other.
