Machine Gun Etiquette is the third album by
seminal punk-rock group The Damned, and the
first one without guitarist Brian James. As their
original release helped define the still vague punk
generation, and became part of the soundtrack of
the summer of hate (1977), this stunning release
helped define the post-punk genre. Its multi-
layered songs incorporate ideas from a variety
of movements and musical styles and then place
them over simple and complex deliveries. Much
wider in its perspective than The Damned’s first
two releases,
Machine Gun Etiquette marks a
defining moment in the evolution of underground
music. It delivers a pleasurable listening
experience that furthers one’s appreciation of this
deep, excellent, and genre-defying band.
