We recently posted about Metal’s newest supergroup, The Damned Things, featuring members of Anthrax, Fall Out Boy and Every Time I Die singer Keith Buckley.
Buckley discussed the new group in a new interview with Thrash Hits. Here are some highlights:
I’ve got ask you about your new supergroup side project, The Damned Things. How did that come about?
“I think it started when Scott [Ian] and Joe [Trohman] met on a vacation or something, and they just started jamming together. We were on tour and I got a call one day sitting in the van and he said they wanted to do a side project and wanted to know if I wanted to be involved, and I said absolutely. It’s very organic. We’ve been writing and recording for two or three years already almost but now everything is coming together and we’re ready to record.”
Are you worried that because it’s got two members of Fall Out Boy, and Scott Ian too, it’s going to be bigger than Every Time I Die?
“Nah. Fall Out Boy is Joe and Andy [Hurley]’s priority, Anthrax is Scott and Rob [Caggiano]’s priority and Every Time I Die is my priority, but if this can happen, it’ll be fun to do. Everyone has time off between recordings and tours so it’s cool to keep the juices going and keep writing with another band. If we were to tour for 10 or 11 years full-time then maybe we’d be bigger, but it’s just for fun and it’s not going to be a cash cow or anything.”
