Rat Scabies

It came out in August.

Now, this band features, uh, Alfie Agnew of the Adolescents and DI, Sean Elliott of DI and Mind Over Four, and then two members of the Damned, uh, drummer Rat Scabies and bassist Paul Gray.

Uh, kind of a transatlantic supergroup of sorts, and the track that you heard is Nuclear Boy, which was originally from the '70s power pop band 20/20.

Uh, Friday My Lady ahead of that, uh, from a self-titled EP that included the cover of I Wanna Get a Job in the City by the Kids.

Yeah.

Some people, like Rat Scabies from the Damned, call him the first punk drummer.

Easily.

He set the first modern, like, drum set.

Um, a little bit of sort of, um, podcast garnered, um, bants.

Rat Scabies, the drummer-

[laughs]

... later recalled that The Young Ones, people approached the band specifically 'cause they wanted them for the Nasty episode.

I'm on there with Sean Mars.

Rat Scabies is on there.

It's a really fun, cool record.

But the signed copies come with a bonus CD with five extra tracks on it.

As

much as I love Rat Scabies, who I, when the last time I saw you at Riot, I got to meet him and have a chat with him.

Did you? Amazing.

He was absolutely lovely.

But, you know, those bands sort of, and like so many, like they show you it's possible.

Right.

But, you know, Rat Scabies is basically just doing Keith Moon.

Yeah.
