Live Albums By The Style Council

The Jam started to show Paul Weller’s classic soul and Motown influences in their last couple of years and, after the band broke up, he formed The Style Council to develop his ideas in this direction.

Arguably The Jam were the post successful of the British punk/new wave bands although, in many ways, they didn’t fit into that category and were more of a power pop band. Paul Weller then formed The Style Council to continue the drift towards soul and R&B and since that band split, he has received success as a solo artist and has been a major influence on the development of Brit-Pop.
