Much like Howard Beale in the 1978 cult film The Network, Damn Vandals are as 'Mad As Hell' and not going to take it anymore.

Its partner in crime, ‘This Music Blows My Tiny Mind’, ramps up the adrenalin one more time to complete a double smack-in-the chops of a single.
 
The two songs will be wreaking havoc from 16 Feb 2015. Both tracks are taken from the new album, ‘Rocket Out Of London’, the follow-up to the band’s critically acclaimed debut,  ‘Done For Desire’, which was Shaun Keaveny's BBC 6Music Record of the Week and one of Bloomberg’s ‘Best CDs of the year'.

“‘Done For Desire’ was a terrific album but this takes all they achieved on that and takes it to 11 and a half.” 5/5 music-news.com

 The new single is produced by long-term DVs collaborator Julian Simmons (Midlake, Ed Sheeran, Guillemots, Goldheart Assembly).

 “It’s difficult not to get caught up in Damn Vandals’ punked-up stoner rock … a forceful identity that’s held together by adrenaline and determination.” Classic Rock Magazine
 
“Absolutely Marvellous … Utterly fabulous ... one of the best rock tunes we've had for a long time … Damn Vandals, they are amazing” Shaun Keaveny, BBC 6Music

“Bugger me this is cool … primal raw as f**k … with all the primitive cut loose bombast and hell fire howl of the Jim Jones Revue with the devil’s poker up their tail pipe.”  The Sunday Experience

 "They storm through ten tracks, each worthy of being released as a single ... an absolute cracker." 9/10 Louder Than War 

“Damn Vandals, a great live band, thoroughly recommend seeing them … absolutely superb, so much energy on stage, a proper rock n roll band.” Chris Hawkins BBC 6MUSIC

 “Like a bluesier, ballsier Doors as they embark on a bloody killing spree in the company of The Cramps.” 9/10. Whisperinandhollerin 

"A manipulative little treat ... Like Fatima Mansions meets The Birthday Party at a demonically cast liquor orgy” 9.5/10.  RingMaster Review

 “As if The Doors grew up listening to Queens of the Stone Age” Little Indie Blogs 

“A gutsy, spirit-lifting gem, their magnificently taut social commentary is a trenchant shakedown best served hot and alive.”  Mojophenia 

 “A hugely enjoyable slice of garage punk … This is music with a spring in its step and the glimmer of mischief in its eye.” 9/10. Shout 4 Music 

“Rocket Out Of London will ensure that Damn Vandals remain on an upward path. Expect to see these guys on some big summer festival stages very soon.” Glasswerk
