Overview Edit

Machine Gun Etiquette is the third album by the British punk band The Damned, released in November 1979. The album was the group's first since reforming with Dave Vanian on vocals, Captain Sensible on lead guitar, Rat Scabies on drums and Algy Ward on bass. Machine Gun Etiquette saw the band become more experimental; without Brian James, the song-writing was more democratic, resulting in a blend of punk, psychedelic rock and pop styles. The album includes a cover version of "Looking at You", originally by the MC5; a CD reissue included a cover of the Grace Slick song "White Rabbit" and Sweet's "Ballroom Blitz".
