The Jam

United Kingdom, 1972–1982

English band led by Paul Weller, formed in Woking in 1972. Fusing the energy of punk with sharp mod-revival songcraft ('Town Called Malice', 'Going Underground', 'That's Entertainment'), they were one of the most successful and influential British bands of the late 1970s.
