Here's to the Fucking Clash

The Clash were a hugely important band for me. I listen to them constantly, even now, over 16 years after I first heard them. For me, they were a creative force that was unrivaled. They cared about making and playing music that they loved, with no regards for what was considered "Punk". 

If I had to choose one creative inspiration to carry with me for the rest of my life, it would be the fucking Clash. They understood what it meant to feel the need to make something bigger than them. They gave so much in their music, and they gave so much to the sounds that mattered to them.
