Lively Arts : The Damned Deconstructed
The Damned - Book - by Martin Popoff
(2022)
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.
