The Damned
"There's a Ghost in My House" single
(earMUSIC)
Originally cut in 1966 by R. Dean Taylor for Motown, "Ghost" has been resuscitated by English Punk executives the Damned. (Previous names that assayed same include the Fall and Graham Parker.) In this reading, sternly lashed Rock'n'Roll that graduated from the class of '77 offers quirky contrast to a tale of driftaway love (that memory being the titular bugaboo). The Damned, of striking promise from their salad days, show themselves to have mastered not only chords of disquiet, but also riveting motion and harmonies only possible for skilled artisans.
This side was exerpted from forthcoming full-length work "Not Like Everybody Else." That tribute to Brian James, the Damned's founding guitar pyro, is set for Jan. 2026 release. Maws world 'round are adrip.
