HOLIDAY SALE AT THE ONION STORE

Artist Paul Weller

  • Paul Weller Matt Kent
When The Jam got too popular, Paul Weller broke up the venerated band and formed The Style Council. When The Style Council got too popular, Weller broke up that only slightly less venerated band and went solo. When Weller became too popular as a solo artist… Well, that never happened. He’s still a national treasure in England, though, and Weller has stayed true, more or less, to the agitated punk sound that he created with The Jam, staying true to his original start as a chronicler of working-class malaise and writer of teenage anthems. His latest album is a smart, solid one from 2008 called 22 Dreams.
