Big Audio Dynamite

BAD to those that are in the know!

BAD to those that are in the know!

Imagine: it is 1984. Think George Orwell, think the beginning of over-ground Hippity Hop, and the end of the first Reagan administration.

Well, even juicier yet is the end of one of the best relationships in music: Mick Jones gets fired from the Clash by the one and only Joe Strummer. Holy Crap!! But what most people don’t know is that Mick takes a lot of the talent of the Clash and creates something better – Big Audio Dynamite.

Big Audio is primarily a Mick Jones gig, with the cooperation of Don Letts (of the Westway to the World fame.) But even Joe Strummer contributes some really great content to the BAD.
