Essential Clash Interviews

10/12/2009
. (PR) The Clash reinvented rock and roll in just six short years. As influential as it was inspirational, the group helped usher in the U.K. punk movement of '76/'77, before evolving into one of the most forward thinking rock acts of the early 1980s.

A new book, The Clash: Essential Interviews (Rifftastic!/Rock Reader Books) � compiled by John D. Luerssen � collects the group's most candid and indispensible media interactions. The title is set for immediate purchase and delivery via Lulu, with release to Amazon Kindle users on October 15th, 2009 and distribution to traditional retailers expected by November 15th.

Staking claim to the slogan "the only band that matters", The Clash � Joe Strummer, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon and Topper Headon � were innovators who fused ska, reggae and rockabilly with thought probing rebellion at a time when mediocrity ruled the musical landscape. Few would argue that the band was way ahead of its time. In fact, Bono once said, "The Clash are the greatest rock band. They wrote the rule book for U2."

From their first-ever gigs with The Sex Pistols to the creation of their triumphant 1979 album 'London Calling' and on to the global success of 1982's 'Combat Rock', The Clash: Essential Interviews collects the group's most candid and indispensible media interactions. It is a must-read for any Clash fan. - get it here
