Preface

We wanted to do our work about the british song "Spanish Bombs" by The Clash.

We decided this because this song is the first song in english talking about the Spanish Civil War, and it is, also, one of the most famous songs of the band called "The Clash".

The Clash was a punk british band formed un 1976, the members of the band (at the moment of recording Spanish Bombs) were

• Joe Strummer – lead vocals, rhythm guitar, piano.
• Mick Jones – lead guitar, piano, harmonica.
• Paul Simonon – bass guitar.
• Topper Headon – drums, percussions.

The song is from the album "London Calling" wich is one of the greatests albums of history, it was ranked at number eight on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time in 2003.

The main reason of the aggressiveness and raw lyrics of this song (Spanish Bombs) and the other songs in the album is because Joe Strummer, leader of the band, tried to represent the feelings and thoughts of british middle class about certain themes.
