SENSIBLE GRAY CELLS - Get Back Into The World LP (colour vinyl)
Limited edition blue colour vinyl.
Seven years after they first recorded together as The Sensible Gray Cells, guitarist Captain Sensible and bassist Paul Gray are back with a second album.
Their previous collaboration, A Postcard From Britain, was long before Gray rejoined The Damned for their 2018 album Evil Spirits. But that evidently got their creative juices flowing again, and – joined by Johnny Moped drummer Marty Love – they’re back with a second album exploring their love of ’60s garage psych-pop.
It’s ironic really, as Sensible admits that some of the songs were written for The Damned, but weren’t “wearing the right shirt”.
Sensible Gray Cells have everything you’d expect from the line-up – the blend of full-on punk attitude and verve with a sense of infectious fun – but in a way that incorporates their sixties garage and fifties rock’n’roll influences in a very apparent way.
