THE CLASH CITY ROCKERS...KINDA.
CARBON/SILICON - THE LAST POST
I picked up a cd by CARBON/SILICON this weekend, not bad. I am a huge CLASH fan so of course I was going to pick up a cd that Mick Jones was involved in.
THE LAST POST fits in somewhere between THE CLASH and B.A.D., falling closer to the CLASH. Mick and Tony James (from Generation X) have written some good tunes. Over the p ast few years they have been writing and recording tunes then posting them on their website as soon as they finished for the fans to devour. I have heard a few tracks that were pretty good, but none are as tasty as the 12 tracks on their first traditionally released cd, THE LAST POST.
"The Magic Suitcase", "The whole Truth" and "Why Do Men Fight" are three great songs. They are simple guitar songs, with a nice funky beat to them. The lyrics are incredible and together they are pure extacy to your ears.
With the passing of Joe Strummer, Mick has picked up where Joe and the Mescaleros ended.
