Bruce Foxton New Album and Tour

‘Smash the Clock’

The legendary Bruce Foxton is best known as a part of ‘The Jam’ with fellow members Paul Weller and Rick Buckler. Bruce is one of the most Influential bass players of our time and he is back with a new album and tour with is band ‘From The Jam’. 

Bruce’s Bass lines, like many Ashdown artists are amongst some of the most recognisable bass lines in the world. Once you’re able to identify a song after two maybe three notes – you know you’ve got a great bass line.

Bruce can be seen on stages using is Ashdown BTA-400 all valve head, together with an ABM 410H and custom shop 215 speaker cabinets. Bruce’s rig may well be big, loud and impressive, but It was actually Ashdown’s more affordable amps that Bruce fell in love with when he discovered the Ashdown EV-C112-180 (180 watt 1x12”) combo in his local music store, Andertons Music in Guilford. 

Bruce’s new album titled ‘Smash the Clock’ will be released in 20th May 2016 and was recorded in Paul Weller’s Black Barn Studios. The album will again feature a few guest appearances.

To coincide with the new album, Bruce Foxton and his band ‘From The Jam’ will be playing a monumental number of performances this year. Foxton will be joined in stage by Tom Heel and Russell Hastings. Audiences can also expect to hear ‘The Jam’ classics such as ‘Going Underground’ and ‘Town Called Malice’.
