"British punk formed in October 1976 in Manchester and relocated to London; disbanded around 1982. The band started out in 1974 as a Glam Rock band called Rockslide, releasing a single in October 1975." Dedicated followers of fashion, in other words.
Was the "Turnin' rebellion into money" verse self-referential, or was Strummer really throwing shade at OTHER bands for selling out? On a release on CBS Records?
