Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Clash were the definitive British punk rockers, and arguably the most inspirational. Formed in 1976 as part of the original wave of UK punk, their music incorporated elements of reggae, dub, funk, ska and rockabilly, and this is the ultimate companion of the band's rise to fame, from their roots in bands such as the 101'ers to emergence alongside the Sex Pistols, the initial CBS deal, the subsequent early 1977 release of White Riot and the eponymous album that followed, right through to their 1986 disbandment ... and beyond.
