THE CLASH - CLASH STAR JONES FORMS NEW GROUP WITH GENERATION X GUITARIST

Former THE CLASH and BIG AUDIO DYNAMITE star MICK JONES has formed a new group with ex-GENERATION X star TONY JAMES.

The rockers have formed CARBON/SILICON and plan to unveil their new sound as part of an upcoming touring festival staged by British music magazine MOJO.

And the group isn't planning on being precious with their music.

Jones explains, "We're about to make all our best tunes available on the Internet - for free... We're old guys doing new, working outside the system."

James adds, "We think downloads are gonna save rock 'n' roll, not destroy it."
