Big Audio Dynamite

Big Audio Dynamite (later known as Big Audio Dynamite II and Big Audio, and often abbreviated Bad) was a British band formed in 1984 by the ex-guitarist and singer of The Clash, Mick Jones. The band blended elements of punk rock, reggae, hip-hop, and rock into their own style of music.

* Mick Jones - guitars & vocals
* Don Letts - sound effects & vocals
* Dan Donovan - keyboards
* Greg Roberts - drums & background vocals
* Leo Williams - bass

The group's initial incarnation, founded by Jones and film director Don Letts (maker of The Punk Rock Movie, various Clash music videos, and later the Clash documentary Westway to the World), debuted with the 1985 release This Is Big Audio Dynamite. 1986's No. 10, Upping St. reunited Jones for one album with former Clash-mate Joe Strummer who co-produced the album and co-wrote a number of songs, but that reacquaintance soon ended. BAD supported U2 on their 1987 world tour, then followed with 1988's Tighten Up Vol. '88 and 1989 Megatop Phoenix.

Jones' latest projects include work with The Libertines and his own outlet with Tony James of Sigue Sigue Sputnik fame - Carbon / Silicon
