We started out with “White Riot” by the CLASH which is the name of a new film about the underground Rock Against Racism movement in the UK that started as a reaction to the rise of the National front and some racist sentiments that Eric Clapton was expressing. A music journalist wrote a letter daring musicians to be the agent of change and they responded. The Clash were big supporters of the movement in word and deed. SHAM 69, X Ray Spex, and Alien Kulture were part of the movement in the UK and Young Lions and L'Etranger were part of the Toronto counterpart.
