They were in the right place at the right time and had killer singles and albums and were all over the music press and TV and yet fizzled out without bothering the charts – how come? How did they fuck this up so gloriously in 1977? Even if they were half as good as this at the time they would have wiped the floor with most bands. Somehow and it’s crazy to even think it – the Damned have returned as one of the best rock bands on the planet and possibly, typically of them, will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and disappear into the night again like spectral ghosts drenched in the cordite whiff adrenalin!Ģ. This is no mere lap of honour and to be honest, that would have enough but this is a right stomp, an explosive finale that throws down the gauntlet to every rock n roll band. Not only are the Damned at the top of their game they are at the top of everybody’s game. No band has the right to emerge from the past like supercharged cadavers with such a zest and such an explosive power and sheer wild musicality.
