HISTORY – 8 April 1977 – Debut LP THE CLASH…
8 April 2019
THE CLASH issued their classic self-titled debut album 42 years ago today, on 8 April 1977. The band translated their social commitment and political discontent into a razor-sharp, full-throated longplayer. A historic uppercut LP as a new generation raised its voice. Original, loud, fierce, speedy, and straight in the right-wing establishment’s ugly face. The LP peaked at #12 in the UK. Unfortunately, the right-wing curse is bigger than ever today.
Here are Turn Up The Volume!‘s three favorite knockout tracks …
– WHITE RIOT –
– I’M SO BORED WITH THE U.S.A. –

‘White Riot’ by THE CLASH
On 18 March 1977, forty-two years ago today, legendary gang THE CLASH released their debut single WHITE RIOT. An angry and timeless punk anthem. This dynamite outburst was inspired by riots in August 1976 in London’s Notting Hill Gate area involving Jamaican residents and the police after continuous tensions due to racist policing. Joe Strummer
and Paul Simonon were present that day and participated in the fights, sympathizing with the black locals’ cause. With ‘White Riot‘ the late, great Strummer wanted to encourage also white people who felt abused and oppressed by the government to come out and protest. ‘White Riot‘ only reached #38 at the time it came out but got his classic status over the following years. B-side: ‘1977’. Time to, scream out loud, folks…
White riot – I want to riot
White riot – a riot of my own
White riot – I want to riot
