The Damned Things posted a new song online

Two weeks before their debut album is about to… debut, The Damned Things have posted a new song called “Little Darling” online. I thought they’d do some more promotion (like a video) since the release date is so close, but I guess they don’t give a shit about videos. Neither do I. Or they think Anthrax, Every Time I Die and Fall Out Boy fanbase’s word of mouth is enough of a promotion. I don’t know, I’m not a music industry analyst. All I know is that there was a time when the word of mouth of those three bands in the same sentence would grant you a foot in mouth.

Go here to listen to the song.

The Damned Things. Ironic.

The Damned Things have named their new album! Wanna know the name? Good luck you’re reading our site then. It’s Ironiclast. Personally, I think Ironic would have sufficed in many ways, but who are we to point fingers and laugh? Don’t answer that.

And in case you want to see how Anthrax, Every Time I Die and Fall Out Boy mash up sounds live, check out the rest of this fine article.

I die every time I hear about Anthrax‘s Scott Ian and Rob Caggiano being involved in a supergroup which also consists of one half of Fall Out Boy. That’s just damned sad. But I guess they found some comfort in at least knowing for sure who their singer is. You know, Keith Buckley… I knew this and I  didn’t even have to cross-reference and check it several times, which is a luxury both of these guys don’t have back in Anthrax.  Anyway, was the humor in this post not bad enough for you so far? It’s okay, because it’s time to throw Conan O’Brien in the mix. Since your head will most likely explode if I continue, let me stop with lame joke attempts (we should leave that to Conan himself now that he has a new job) and explain the missing link between the two.

Remember that infamous “I’m with Coco” picture that stormed the internet right after Conan lost his employment? Well, Mike Mitchell, the guy behind it just announced via Twitter that he will, in fact, be in charge of The Damned Things‘ album artwork. So there’s a slight chance that this album will at least be tolerable to look at, if not to listen to.
