The Damned are forever in the history books as the first UK punk
band to get an album out. Damned Damned Damned was a flamethrower
of a record, led by the incendiary violence of "New Rose" (first UK
punk single as well) and "Neat Neat Neat," two shocking punk
anthems that defined the golden era of the new wave more purely
pogo-mad than anything outta The Clash or the Sex Pistols. And the
mayhem never let up, with the band already breaking up and
reforming (another first!) by 1979 for one of the greatest punk
albums of all time, Machine Gun Etiquette (by the way, The Damned
were also the first UK punk band to tour America). More punch-ups
and gratuitous vandalism ensued as the band expanded its palette
through the years. Popoff has wanted to write Lively Arts: The
Damned Deconstructed for decades, and now that it's finished, he's
been all over video and radio calling it his favourite and best
book he's ever done. For in it, Popoff got to analyse monastically
- headphones and repeat button at the ready - every damned Damned
song across all the albums and every EP and single. This herculean
task represented a joy of an exercise from a penmanship point of
view, but it was most satisfying in a proselytizing sense - Martin
wants everybody joining him in poring over The Damned catalogue in
minute detail. Let this long-suffering band of scrapping,
scratching cats in a sack know how important and beloved they are
before they're all dead!
