Things that make you go "oooh"
Outside of a fairly rote cover of one of these songs by the band the Offspring, I was aware of the Damned by name only, including the names of its band members, who sport such spicy monikers as Rat Scabies and Captain Sensible.
This sounds like a Ramones album and a Kinks album got shoved in blender with glorious results. Snarling punk attitude one moment, eccentric British pop the next. Most of the time it falls partway in between, in the form of high-velocity melodic punk with a decidedly British flavour and some great little lead breaks.
Fun fact: Lemmy from Motorhead and Joe Strummer and Paul Simonon from the Clash help out with some bass, backing vocals, and hand claps.
