===T.R.A.C. (1984)===
After being fired from the Clash in 1983 and following a brief stint with [[New wave music|new wave]] band [[General Public]], Mick Jones formed a new band called Top Risk Action Company (T.R.A.C.). He recruited bassist [[Leo Williams (musician)|Leo "E-Zee Kill" Williams]], saxophonist John "Boy" Lennard (from [[post-punk]] band [[Theatre of Hate]]), and former Clash drummer [[Topper Headon]]. Headon was quickly fired for his [[heroin]] addiction and Lennard either left or was fired and the band folded.<ref>{{cite web |title=Big Audio Dynamite – "This Is Big Audio Dynamite" (1985) |url=http://beatpatrol.wordpress.com/2010/05/10/big-audio-dynamite-this-is-big-audio-dynamite-1985 |url-status=live |publisher=Beatpatrol.wordpress.com |date=10 May 2010 |access-date=17 August 2011 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20110726105447/http://beatpatrol.wordpress.com/2010/05/10/big-audio-dynamite-this-is-big-audio-dynamite-1985 |archive-date=26 July 2011}}</ref> Although the band released no material (only demos were recorded, which have yet to be officially released), T.R.A.C. can be seen as a forerunner to Big Audio Dynamite in much the same way that [[London SS]] can be seen as an early incarnation of the Clash.
