Third World War (band)
Third World War were an English blues rock, hard rock, and proto-punk band formed in 1970 by manager and producer John Fenton together with songwriters Terry Stamp and Jim Avery.

Due to this attitude, the band's raucous sound and its revolutionary lyrics, they have been described as "England's first punk band" (after Crushed Butler) In 1970 the band recorded their first album, ''Third World War'', which was released in 1971 on Fly Records.

Trombone
The trombone (, Italian, French: ''trombone'') is a musical instrument in the Brass instrument, brass family. As with all brass instruments, sound is produced when the player's lips vibrate inside a mouthpiece, causing the Standing wave, air column inside the instrument to vibrate.

The valve trombone is an exception, using three valves similar to those on a trumpet, and the superbone has valves and a slide.
