Agree!! Mod Revival didn't start in 1977 when The Jam had their first hit so how can they be described as a mod revival band - mods adopted them because of Weller (and All Mod Cons) etc but not quite the same thing as being a mod revival band - unlike say The Chords or Purple Hearts. Great that 2 Jam members are in From The Jam - 2 of The Chords are in Pope as are 2 Purple Hearts members in RT3.
i disagree. i just finished reading a biography of paul weller and according to that he wasnt just influenced by mods he more or less became one after hearing my generation. Of course the jam were a mod revival band. they had everything. even if only one of them was a mod , the others still looked it too, besides we dont know for sure that bruce and rick weren't into it unless someone acatually asked them...
google souldance by the jam weller wrote the song aged 15 what a song

"The Jam were an English mod revival band" No!
The Jam had one Mod in it, and were influenced by mod, amongst lots of other things.
