There Will Be Clash and Joe Strummer

There Will Be Clash and Joe Strummer

Over the past decade yours truly would often do a Joe Strummer special once or twice a year.

I am not sure if I will do any more Joe Strummer specials, there is that possibility but I think I really want to unarchive my older specials so that they can exist.

Long time music pals of EatKS Christian D the frontman of Christian D and the Sinners and Adam Sewell frontman of Monster Voodoo Machine, Def Con Sound System, artist manager and writer joined me derailing conversations about The Clash and Joe Strummer.

We only had scratched the surface with talking about Joe Strummer, The Clash when it comes to the albums, the demos, the bootlegs, the boxset, our personal stories about the songs we love, some of the best books to read.

We didn’t talk about all the albums, all the bootlegs, all the books or all the boxsets.

What I hope that people will get from this is that Clash fans are unique because The Clash was one of the very few bands that could pull pub rock, reggae, first wave ska, dub, rockabilly, and even some new wave music fans. Is there one Clash fan that is right and another Clash fan that is wrong?

Listen to the show and you’ll see for yourself that The Clash, and Joe Strummer hit differently for some Clash/Strummer fans. Check out EatKS.com or my Subtstack Nikki EatKS for the links to the books, and the interviews we talked about in the show.
