About

Big Audio Dynamite (later known as Big Audio Dynamite II and Big Audio, and often abbreviated to BAD) were an English band formed in London in 1984 by Mick Jones, former lead guitarist and co-lead vocalist of the Clash. The band mixed various musical styles, incorporating elements of punk rock, dance music, hip-hop, reggae, and funk. After releasing a number of well-received studio albums and touring extensively during the 1980s and 1990s, Big Audio Dynamite broke up in 1997. In 2011 the band embarked on a reunion tour.
