Greg Camp is best known as the creative force behind 1990s chartsters, Smash Mouth, who had hit after hit from their energetic, feel-good catalogue, including Walking On The Sun and All Star. Since leaving the band earlier this year, he’s re-surfaced as a singer-songwriter in his own right [write?] with the release of his debut solo album, Defektor, in September.
The Clash / Straight To Hell
One of my favorite bands and my favorite song that they did. I like the whole vibe of a white band doing their rendition of an Asian story of heritage with a punk edge, somehow. The way it was recorded, with the side stick and tom-tom drums along with dub bass and guitar feedback, makes it beautiful and eerie all at once. Joe Strummer is one of the all-time greatest storytellers, and his thumbtack gargling vocals drive it off the cliff.
