Big Surprise - Carbon / Silicon

Carbon/Silicon is a rock band formed in 2003 by two punk rock legends: Mick Jones of The Clash and Tony James of Generation X. Similar in many respects to Jones' earlier work in Big Audio Dynamite, Carbon/Silicon aims to break the traditional approach to rock and roll. The band was described by critic Alan McGee as "...the Stones jamming with a laptop," and they make use of samples in their recordings and live shows. The formation of the band was catalyzed by the internet and p2p file sharing.
