With members of Anthrax (Scott Ian, Rob Caggiano), Every Time I Die (Keith Buckley), and Fall Out Boy (Joe Trohman, Andy Hurley), The Damned Things are undoubtedly a musical force to be reckoned with.
While each individual in the band has experienced their own successes, The Damned Things’ debut Island/Def Jam album, which combines their love of classic rock anthems and powerful melodies with a heavy metal intensity, turns out to be much more than the sum of the separate parts.
Once you hear songs like “We’ve Got a Situation Here” (“I’ve been waiting patiently/For the crowd to gather… I don’t ask for much/But I want what I can’t afford”), “Black Heart,” a laid-back break beat rhythm with a prog-rock tinged bridge, and “A Great Reckoning,” a song Ian says “reminds me everyday why I got into Rock music in the first place.”, it’s hard to believe The Damned Things haven’t been playing together most of their lives.
