Earthquake Weather is a 1989 record by former The Clash frontman Joe Strummer with his then-backing band The Latino Rockabilly War. The album sold very few copies, despite being received fairly well by critics (although not as well as it might have been due to easy comparisons to the work of the Clash). This inability to sell records ultimately terminated the relationship of Joe Strummer and Epic Records, who forced Strummer out of their deal, unless he were to reform The Clash, in which case he would be required to return to Epic.
