The Clash were an English punk rock band, active from 1976 to 1986, part of the original wave of UK punk rock in the late 1970s. Although a punk rock band, the band experimented with reggae, funk, rap, dub, rock and roll and rockabilly in their music. The band were formed by Joe Strummer (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Mick Jones (lead guitar, backing vocals) and Paul Simonon (bass guitar, backing vocals). During this time they had a revolving drumming position, including Terry Chimes who featured on the band's eponymous first album The Clash despite the fact that by this point of time he had already chosen to leave the band. Needing a stable drummer, they were finally joined in 1977 by Jones' friend Nicky "Topper" Headon (drums, percussion).
