[Watch] Introducing: The Damned Things (Every Time I Die x Fall Out Boy x Anthrax)

What do you get if you add together members of Fall Out Boy, Every Time I Die and Anthrax? I'll tell you what, it's The Damned Things. Joe Trohman and Andy Hurley of Fall Out Boy, Keith Buckley of Every Time I Die, and Scott Ian and Rob Caggiano of Anthrax make up the band. I first got wind of this project back in early June when they played their first show in New York and then a London show the week after...the buzz had started.

Having only heard "We've Got A Situation Here" I was pretty excited, riffs and hooks galore, the track got stuck in my head instantaneously. You can hear why below. We finally have a little more information now thanks to the video above which gives us a nice insight into how it all came to be. Their debut album will be out on December the 14th, we'll be keeping a close eye on this one.
