Jam (The)

Jam (The) were one of the most popular bands to emerge from the initial wave of British punk rock in 1977 and trio became genuine superstars in Britain, with an impressive string of Top Ten singles in the late ’70s and early ’80s.

Fronted by Paul Weller the band were originally a 4 piece with drummer Rick Buckler, bassist Bruce Foxton, and guitarist Steve Brookes. Brookes left the band early on and they remained a trio for the rest of their career. The Jam started out playing gigs around London, building a local following. In February 1977, the group signed a record contract with Polydor Records; two months later, they released their debut single, “In the City,” which reached the U.K. Top 40. Subsequently the band released 18 consecutive Top 40 singles in the UK, from their debut in 1977 to their break-up in December 1982, including four number one hits
