Here’s something neat neat neat: UK punk legends the Damned have announced their first album in 10 years. Evil Spirits, the follow-up to 2008’s So, Who’s Paranoid?, is out in April, preceded by lead single and opening track “Standing On The Edge Of Tomorrow.” Though Captain Sensible touts the band’s old-school approach to recording in a press release, the song is a long way from “New Rose,” its hard-charging ethos accented by smooth hi-fi production and a stylistic debt to pop’s pre-rock era. Check it out below.
