Interview - Bruce & Rick Speak to ShockHound
Ask anyone who loves '70s punk which bands they'd most like to see reunite, and chances are good that the Jam would be high on their wish list. From 1977 to 1982, the English power trio of singer/guitarist Paul Weller, bassist Bruce Foxton and drummer Rick Buckler repeatedly pushed the boundaries of punk with their fiery, angular music, which gave a modern, politically-charged kick up the "arse" to the '60s sound of English bands like the Who, the Kinks and the Small Faces. Their sharply-tailored visual aesthetic helped to trigger the first real mod revival, and their explosive live shows were legendary.

Interview - Bruce Foxton Speaks To PennyBlack
Musical reunions are notoriously watered-down, cynical affairs. They are rarely the full thing, with key members in the intervening years having at worst died or at best decided they no longer want anything to do with their former band mates. The longer the gap between groups coming off the road and going back on it the shakier these reformations usually are, the passion and idealism of youth being replaced by the harsh realities of mortgages and overdrafts and often a last gasp desire for the limelight and fame.
