New Album
Punking for Nicaragua,
Clash triple album set due
the revolutionary Nicaraguan group, Sandinistas
Steve Karras Article about the guy who introduced the Clash to history of Sandinistas
Sandinista, named after the revolutionary Nicaraguan group was their most ambitious and diverse. Joe had found out about the Sandinista rebellion from Moe Armstrong a onetime member of Daddy Longlegs.
“They’d made a big noise when they came to London in 1969 and Moe had become very left wing, he gave us info that was quite hard to find out. A bunch of teenage Marxists oust your favourite dictator?”

By 1980, the Clash had fallen in love with New York, holing up at either the Iroquois Hotel, where James Dean stayed in the Fifties, or in their studio space at Electric Ladyland, where they were recording Sandinista! Following up London Calling, released in the states the previous December, the band was working feverishly -- "day and night," according to Joe Strummer in the little-seen recent Clash documentary Westway to the World. “We couldn't record fast enough.”
"I always saw it as a record for people on oil rigs or Arctic stations." -- Joe Strummer on Sandinista!

“Sandinista! is an everywhere-you-turn guerrilla raid of vision and virtuosity. Produced with greater care but taking more risks, the new LP is a sprawling, scattered smoke screen of styles, with an expanded range that’s at once encyclopedic and supplemental (taking Tiger Mountain by surplus).” - John Piccarella for Rolling Stone, 1981
