What does Roland mean by “Kick out the Style! Bring back the Jam!”?
The band named “The Jam” was popular trio in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s that made punk-rock left wing political music. Their chief songwriter, Paul Weller, began to develop an interest in soul music, and his songs started to reflect this, which the other members couldn’t stand. The group soon broke up and Weller formed “The Style Council”. The Jam fans felt betrayed at the change of direction and reviled the band, which had some early success. Ultimately, The Style Council was dropped by their label in the early 90’s, prompting Weller to continue as a solo act.
