Today we celebrate the Clash, a band whose music and human rights message has endured over the years. Started by John Richards at KEXP in Seattle in 2013, International Clash Day is now renowned worldwide with countries from all seven continents participating. The day kicks off with Ice Radio at McMurdo Station in Antarctica playing Clash special programing with 97 other radio stations in tow.
“We couldn’t be more inspired and blown away by the response of other stations around the world,” Richards said. “KEXP is always trying to bring music lovers together around the world and to see the global message of The Clash providing that connection is exactly the reason why we HAVE an International Clash Day.”
