FROM The Jam, featuring former The Jam bassist Bruce Foxton, vocalist and guitarist Russell Hastings and drummer Mike Randon, will be at The Memorial Hall, Barry on the March 26 with their legendary The Public Gets What The Public Wants Tour.
The Jam exploded onto the punk scene in 1977 delivering their ferocious mission statement – debut single In The City.
With a catalogue that includes 18 UK Top 40 singles, The Jam became the sound of The British youth and one of the greatest and biggest selling bands in British history.
In 2000, Q magazine placed The Jam’s third album All Mod Cons at Number 50 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever.
Bruce Foxton and Russell Hastings are returning to the studio to record a new album titled Smash The Clock, much to the delight and anticipation of their loyal fans.
The news was announced on crowdfunding site PledgeMusic, with Bruce saying: “The initial demos are sounding great and Russ and I can’t wait to start recording.
“As on the last album (Back In The Room) we will have a few guest appearances, which we’re really excited about.”
From The Jam have gained a reputation for the kind of incendiary live performances that sealed the reputation of The Jam all those years ago.
Those attending the Public Gets What The Public Wants Tour can expect to hear classic hits such as Down In The Tube Station At Midnight, Going Underground, Town Called Malice and The Modern World as well as other live favourites.
