Does it get any cooler?! ????

In The Clash's 'Londons Calling', Paul Simonon flips the usual punk approach by starting his bass lines on an upstroke and adding a loose swing to the feel. 

Recorded as the title track for The Clash’s double album, the bass work carries a steady pulse that pushes against the guitar and drums without feeling rigid. Paying attention to the upstroke attack makes a huge difference in nailing the vibe.
