Pay homage to one of punk rock's most dynamic anthems with this premium-quality band tee. "Smash It Up," released in 1979, showcased The Damned's evolving sound and helped cement their reputation as innovators in the British punk scene. The song, with its distinctive two-part structure combining a melodic instrumental with an explosive punk rock finish, demonstrated the band's willingness to push beyond punk's basic formula.
Despite being banned by the BBC for its supposedly destructive message, "Smash It Up" became one of The Damned's signature songs. The track appeared on their album "Machine Gun Etiquette," marking a period when the band was expanding their musical horizons while maintaining their rebellious edge, incorporating elements of garage rock and proto-goth that would influence alternative music for decades to come.
This t-shirt features a weathered, vintage-style front print that captures the band's irreverent spirit. The distressed effect gives it an authentic, lived-in look that punk rock collectors will appreciate.
