Our Take

"The Damned's live album 'Not the Captain's Birthday Party' is a raucous, chaotic reminder of why this band has remained a staple in the punk scene for over four decades. Recorded during a notorious show at The Roundhouse in 1977, this release captures the raw energy and irreverent spirit that defines The Damned. From the opening chords of 'Love Song' to the frenetic closer 'Neat Neat Neat', the band tears through their set with a reckless abandon that is as thrilling as it is infectious. Dave Vanian's haunting vocals soar over Captain Sensible's blistering guitar riffs, while the rhythm section of Rat Scabies and Algy Ward keep the tempo dialed up to 11. Tracks like 'New Rose' and 'Smash It Up' showcase The Damned at their punk rock best, with anthemic choruses and snarling verses that demand to be shouted along to. But it's on deeper cuts like 'Feel the Pain' and 'Sick of Being Sick' where the band truly shines, displaying a depth and complexity that is often overlooked in the punk genre. Overall, 'Not the Captain's Birthday Party' is a must-listen for both longtime fans of The Damned and newcomers alike. It's a testament to the band's enduring legacy and a reminder of why they continue to be one of the most important and influential acts in punk rock history. So grab your leather jacket, turn up the volume, and get ready to pogo the night away with The Damned."
