Listen "Big Audio Dynamite"
Episode Synopsis
Big Audio Dynamite was a band formed from the slowly drifting ashes of The Clash. The Clash would last a little longer, but would never be the same. Co-founder Mick Jones had just been kicked out of The Clash for wanting to move the punk pioneers in new directions and into new sounds. Less than a year later, Jones quickly regrouped with Big Audio Dynamite. Big Audio Dynamite was confrontational like The Clash, but in a different way—exploring new directions like melding dance with rock and liberally sampling sounds and movie clips as part of the band’s palette.
