    Combat Rock and the Clash’s American Breakthrough

    In this episode we trace how The Clash slipped from London’s underground into the glare of U.S. mainstream success—MTV videos like “Rock the Casbah,” a cleaner production by Glyn Johns, and a 1985‑style tour that brought them double‑platinum sales while stirring internal conflict over musical direction. We unpack the band’s shifting lineup, label deals, touring strategy, and the cultural moment that turned punk into a global conversation. Learn more about your ad choices.
