About this album

Dig The New Breed distils The Jam’s live force into one of the sharpest documents of British punk-mod. Issued in 1982, the album draws on performances from the band’s final years and turns songs such as In The City, Start!, Going Underground and That’s Entertainment into urgent, tightly focused statements. Rather than a simple live souvenir, it captures The Jam at a point where Paul Weller’s songwriting, Bruce Foxton’s bass and Rick Buckler’s drums had become a disciplined, high-impact unit. The record helped underline the band’s importance beyond the original mod revival, showing how their energy and social bite carried into the broader New Wave era.

Genre: Pop & Rock
