As the front man, writer and motivating force behind The Clash -- the most influential, expansive and enduring band to come out of the early British punk rock explosion -- Joe Strummer became an influence impossible to surpass. In the fifteen years since the disbanding of The Clash, Strummer has continued to uphold his creative status by looking forward, living on his musical wits and drawing influence from diverse sources, while staying true to his personal and political beliefs
On his Hellcat debut, Strummer and his Mescaleros have created ten soulfully crafted and cleverly arranged tracks. Covering a wide variety of material, they perfectly incorporate dub, hip-hop, salsa and rockabilly, all of which are awash with the trademark of Strummer's disarming vocals.
