Andy Blade pays tribute to The Damned’s Brian James with and EP of songs they co-wrote. The lead track is an instant classic. “Ain’t That A Shame” channels the bittersweet grandeur of classics like “Ain’t It Fun” by the Dead Boys, “Baby Baby” by The Vibrators, and “You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory” by Johnny Thunders, alongside the melodic ache associated with The Only Ones. Sometimes you play a song, and it feels like you’ve known it your whole life. Nearly 50 years after it was first written, 'Ain’t That A Shame' finally emerges as the 24-carat earworm it was always destined to be — a lost punk era classic reborn.
