The JamThe Jam were an iconic English mod revival and punk rock band formed in Woking in 1972 by Paul Weller, Bruce Foxton, and Rick Buckler. Driven by Weller’s sharp, socially conscious lyrics and their explosive live energy, the trio uniquely fused 1960s beat music with punk aggression. They achieved massive critical and commercial success, dominating the UK charts with timeless, working-class anthems like “Going Underground” and “Town Called Malice”. At the absolute peak of their global popularity, Weller shockingly disbanded the group in December 1982, cementing their legacy as one of Britain’s most revered alternative acts.
