Apocalypse Now! The album that finished The Clash

The Combat Rock Story

Once again, tomorrow’s newsletter has to take a back seat due to the sheer volume of magazine deadlines I’m currently grappling with, most connected to friends we have lost recently. Regular readers will know who they are. That’s all there is to report, so here’s a Clash piece about Combat Rock I wrote for Vive Le Rock a couple of years ago.

Normal Service will be resumed soon (I really hope so).

“Combat Rock has some of the best tunes that we ever made on it. ‘Straight To Hell’ was one of our absolute masterpieces. But the band had to shatter after that record.”

Joe Strummer
