The Jam were an English punk rock and mod revival band formed in Woking in 1972. Led by Paul Weller, alongside Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler, they became one of the defining groups of the late 1970s UK music scene. Their sound blended punk energy with 1960s mod influences, sharp guitar work, and socially aware lyrics. Albums like All Mod Cons and Setting Sons showcased their evolving songwriting and musical maturity. Known for hits such as Town Called Malice and Going Underground, they left a strong cultural impact before disbanding in 1982 at their peak popularity
