The Godfathers - This Damn Nation 12" (1986)




I told you that I might just pop in every now and then.....
To put genuine Rock'n'Roll back on the map was Coyne brothers' main intention... with the Sid Presley Experience first with the Godfathers afterwards they did indeed release some damn fine gutsy records... Godfathers' second 12" is a shining example of their untamed brand of R'n'R.... offering 3 blistering tracks with the anthemic Damn Nation as main title. Their first LP "Hit By Hit" has been reissued in 2008 on CD with plenty of bonus tracks... and it is a must-have...so order it now ! Their later stuff tends to get progessively more commercial... "Birth, School, Work, Death" and "More Songs About Love And Hate" are both highly recommandable though.... next ones... a question of taste... of mood... I suppose...
The Godfathers are touring again and are planning a new album....

Great post! The Godfathers were a favorite of mine when I was in school during the 80s. I caught twice, once during '88 and then again the next year. Still makes me smile, thank!
