Hot on the heels of The Damned<\/strong>‘s announcement of a 2024 UK tour, two of the band have released a Christmas single with their side project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Guitarist Captain Sensible and bassist Paul Gray, together with Johnny Moped drummer Marty Love, make up The Sensible Gray Cells<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’re an on-off band who released their debut album, A Postcard From Britain<\/em>, way back in 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That seemed to be that until 2020, when they sprang a follow-up on us in the shape of Get Back Into The World<\/em> (reviewed here<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n

Captain Sensible gets into the festive spirit.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Now the band are back with a festive feast in the shape of a Christmas single, A Stupid Xmas<\/em>, which is out on Damaged Goods Records this Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a limited edition, with just 500 copies on red vinyl and 500 on green, with both the A-side and B-side exclusive to this release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Stupid Xmas<\/em> captures everything you love to hate about this special time of year, while the flip, Keep It To Yourself<\/em>, sees the band in full-on armchair detective mode, taking a look at the unsolved Madeleine McCann mystery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
