THE CLASH RULE THE NEW WAVE

Anybody who knows anything knows that the Clash is the best band in Britain; what is difficult to decide is if, in 1978, this means anything to anyone else. Dunno when the Clash story started for them; for me it began a year or so ago. Punk was making its way from local fun to national obsession and while the Sex Pistols grabbed the shock horror press publicity, it was the Clash who bugged rock writers.
