Originally unleashed at the height of punk’s second wave, Machine Gun Etiquette captures The Damned at their most fearless and inventive. Bursting with energy and attitude, its all-killer tracklist showcases the band’s trademark mix of witty lyricism, sharp guitar riffs, and relentless rhythms—a pivotal moment in rock history that redefined the boundaries of punk.

This pressing celebrates the album as part of the 50th anniversary of Ace Records, bringing new attention to The Damned’s genre-defying sound. With standout songs like “Love Song,” “Smash It Up,” and their cover of MC5’s “Looking at You,” Machine Gun Etiquette remains an essential listen for fans seeking the raw power and creative spirit that made late ’70s punk so unforgettable.
