<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nDamaged Goods reissue this debut recording by Medway legends The Daggermen. If amphetamine paced, mod styled tunes is your thing, walk this way\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With links to The Prisoners, and having seen The Milkshakes whilst still at school, our heroic trio decided that this music was their destiny. Nascent drummer Wolf Howard invited Billy Childish to see their fledgling band, and the rest is Medway history, long before these two musicians joined forces in several of Billy\u2019s groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Togged-up in Carnaby Street\u2019s finest mod threads, and armed with a set of blistering Who and Kinks influenced tunes, all at under three minutes long, The Daggermen should have been bigger. But, maybe that would have spoiled it. With 18 tracks on the CD and 12 on the LP, now\u2019s the time to explore their legacy. Primal, but with the likes of \u2018What Do I Do For You\u2019 showing their talent for vocal harmonies, this is a strong set of songs, including instrumentals like the Link Wray influenced \u2018Bundle\u2019 and the title track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
18 tunes rattle by in no time. If you\u2019re not shaking your thing, there\u2019s no hope for you. It\u2019s definitely the Medway Sound, full of youthful energy. While I wait for Billy Childish to return to the faster stuff, this is a treat. Get on it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
