The Jam were as important a cultural band to any respectable British youngster, as you can find from the early eighties. Their auspicious messages of despair and anti-establishment brought some comfort to the anger that was around at the time. Their music ignited a flame for a passion of change needed to give the youth population belief of a better future.Paul Weller is the frontman and main songwriter, Rick Buckler and Bruce Foxton are at the forefront of any topical issues, their songs fondly remembered, in particular, “Town Called Malice”, “Eton Rifles”, “Going Underground” and a world more. Enticed in these two hours. Get some flavour of the culture and enjoy The Jam.
