    'Beware of the Clown' is the second single from 'DARKADELIC', the Damned’s 12th studio album coming April 28th. The video stars founding member and the single's songwriter Captain Sensible as a politician cursed by all things clowny (any resemblance to real politicians is purely coincidental).

      The Damned have a steady long-running nucleus, that apparently but most likely don''t care much about petty disputes amidst a group with such a jovial career of 47 years in a row. Motörhead and the Ramones set their own tough-to-beat examples, with assorted variations of humour, and bad moods. Remember The Damned were multi-pioneers of 76, winning most records of ''1st Punk band ever to ...'' , so this kinda confirms they're on to a good thing coming. Long live the Damned.

    Mr Burns, verging on his 70th decade (soon 69), setting the example : as a state of mind, Punk can't simply die, especially when you're an icon on p*sstaking stances. It's all good promotion, and i've been chain-watching this for half an hour. How's that for a bloke who was 13 in 76? Mr Lett, on his part, though he's also on his healthy late 60s, surprises with a well balanced baritone leading the way. And By the way, so goes Paul Gray with the RickenB. Fantastic Pop song in Punk spirit. Neat.
