Three guy Band..
As sharp as the black suit's that they wore, hit
the street's big time in 1976.
(The Jam). Paul Weller, Bruce Foxton and Rick
Buckler, bred a rival, smartly dressed new-wave
version of Punk youth culture. The scruffy green
hair and chain brigades were now very slowly on
the way out, and the sixties style of Mod culture
revivalists on the way in..
The Jam's first
gig was played at the 100 club and opened the
door to a new energy for the nonconformist music
revolution of the late seventies. The Jam wanted
to reflect 'real life' into their songs and help
end prejudice between people by creating a
lyrical 'solid bond' of Rock and Roll. The
diversity of people who bought the records show
that to a large extent they had succeeded.
