Large Audio Dynamite (Badness, for short) was founded within 1984 with film director Don Letts (The Punk Rock Movie, various Clash videos, & afterwards a Clash documental Westway to the World).

A number 1 BAD album, This Is Heavy Audio Dynamite was freed a year late. A only "E=MC²" was around heavily rotation in dance clubs at the instance. 1986's No. Decade, Upping St. reunited Mick for a single album by having previous Clash-mate Joe Strummer who co-produced the album & co-wrote the total of songs, however that reacquaintance shortly ended.

Badness opened for U2 on their 1987 world tour, then followed by owning 1988s ''Tighten Higher, Vol. '88 & 1989/1990s Megatop Phoenix. Fallowing a complete reworking of a lineup that left Jones when the resole unexpended original member, Badness so freed the critically acclaimed, limited edition mini-album Kool-Help'' - the prelude to 1991's The World, which produced a band's virtually all commercially successful individual, "Rush".

Fallowing signing by using Gary Kurfirst's Radioactive Records in 1995, and releasing the like tepid album, F-Punk, Badness uncovered its proposed next album Typing the Up to date Ride, in limbo -- a record company apparently refused to release it. Coincidentally, a just released line-higher featured a inclusion of vocalizer Rankin' Roger (The Beat, General Public). Around 1998, a band launched the newly website, primarily as a means to distribute songs from either the Typing the Future Ride album to the class action's fans.

Jones has shuffled a line higher of the class action many days, & potentially renamed the two Heavy Audio Dynamite II (around 1991) & Heavy Audio (1994), but by owning a imaginable exception of a 1989 release, Badness never really captured the cutting-edge promise of their debut album.

As of 2005, Jones is working on the plan sustaining Tony James (ex. of GenX & Sigue Sigue Sputnik) called Carbon/Silicon.
