Synopsis The hot pink cover of this book is only the first reminder that for all its political rough edges, punk was also about style--visual as well as musical. THE CLASH is jammed with killer photographs, documenting the seminal British punk band's history. Interviews conducted before frontman Joe Strummer's unexpected death in 2002 provide most of the text, which provides insights into the division of labor within the band and the members' backgrounds. This is an awesome volume for a great band.
