'I won't open letter bombs for you....'
I've just listened to The Librtines debut album and I'm now listening to The Clash while lying on the sofa as my Monday comes to a close.It's ragged and jagged, driven and there's a certain amount of detectable opportunusm but the whole UK Punk wave was rife with opportunism. Most of the records I like most came later . Including any number by The Clash. This was designed largely to blast the doors down. Make a statement and get a lot of attention. Which it did. But they were already spreading their wings and you can here that everywhere on here. Where they were going next. This feels like a document of a moment of history and a demand and engine for change as much as anything. ,
