Former band members of Fall Out Boy (Joe Trohman and Andy Hurley), Anthrax (Scott Ian and Rob Caggiano) and Every Time I Die (Keith Buckley and Josh Newton) have combined forms into the Noah's Arc in music, The Damned Things, which released their debut album Ironiclast on December, 14 2010 with Island Records. In the music industry, majority of bands and musicians have a goal but some end up in a total opposite direction, but then there is The Damned Things, whom have succeeded exactly what they were heading for.
Fan's of all three of the bands whom members were known for had know idea what to expect, was The Damned Things going to be a pop-rock or southern-hardcore? Try more of a southern classic rock n' roll! It's about time that bands stopped trying to be the new generation of music, and instead went back to when music was worshiped. That being said, it's no surprise that Trohman had mentioned that Led Zeppelin influenced the record!
