he Winter Of Discontent, the dawn of atcherism and vicious spending
cuts. Civil unrest on the streets, a vote for Scottish independence, football
eating itself and spawning the rst million pound player. Worst of all, the
opening of the rst JD Wetherspoon pub… the dark clouds were gathering over Britain in
1979. It’s hard not to see the parallels 40 years on. Yet out of such adversity at the end of the 70s
came the cavalry, an advance of disa ected bands from disparate musical backgrounds giving
a voice to a generation and smashing down musical boundaries. e Clash’s
London Calling
led
the charge, a sprawling double album that tore up the faded punk blueprint and inspired countless
British teenagers to pick up guitars and form bands. In this month’s cover story, Danny Biggane
speaks to 30 of those bands as they remind us why
London Calling
remains one of the best albums
ever made. Daniel Dylan Wray picks up the baton and enlists members of post-punk trailblazers
Buzzcocks, Gang Of Four and e Pop Group to unravel the legacy of one of the most important
years in UK music. Four decades later, the landscape is troublingly similar to that in 1979, albeit
there are now 900 Wetherspoons and for £1 million forwards read £80 million centre-backs;
but can we have faith that a similarly reactionary and articulate music scene is emerging? e
answer, pleasingly, is yes. e rise of IDLES, Fontaines D.C., e Murder Capital, Shame,
Slowthai, Snapped Ankles and Goat Girl, to name but a few, demonstrates that young
British and Irish bands have got the bit between their teeth once again. Is 2019 another
Year Zero for music? at might be a bit of a stretch, but there’s plenty to celebrate in
these troubled times; check back next month for our Top 100 albums of the year.
Elsewhere this issue, we hear why Je Lynne has vacated the producer’s chair
to concentrate on making new music, and Lankum and Tindersticks
tell us about their own new albums. We’re also celebrating the
long-overdue reissue of Gene Clark’s criminally under-
appreciated
No Other.
