THE DAMNED THINGS - featuring FALL OUT BOY's Joe Trohman and Andy Hurley, ANTHRAX’s Scott Ian and Rob Caggiano, and EVERY TIME I DIE’s Keith Buckley - have revealed via a Twitter post, that they are shooting a video for the track 'We've Got A Situation Here'. The video is written/directed by Brendon Small, co-creator of Adult Swim's Metalocalypse.
As previously reported, The Damned Things invite you to download their new song, 'Friday Night (Going Down In Flames)', for free on Facebook.
The Damned Things will release their debut album, Ironiclast, on December 13th in The UK and on December 14th in North America. The cover art can be seen below:
Joe describes the cover art: "This is meant to represent a example of an 'ironiclast'. The $1 bill is one of the most iconoclastic images we, as a band, could think of. Every time we kept musing on other widely recognized bits of imagery, we always came back to this bank note for some reason. It felt relevant, regardless of the meaning one decides to attach.
It can that represent everything from the American dream and total independence, to capitalism and a loss in sight of what's really important in this world. It could be representative of not just the current American economy, but also of the world economy and it's piss poor state of being. This could also conjure up the old 'money is the root of all evil' adage. Maybe you just hate George Washington and you feel like this is really sticking it to him... FINALLY! Or maybe you love George Washington and have been dying to give him a cool makeover. This is all left up to you.
Many meanings can be attached to this imagery. It's all in how you choose to interpret it."
