Scott Ian from Anthrax is back in action with a new band and a new album, and he’s taking it on the road. The Damned Things (www.thedamnedthings.com) is a supergroup consisting of Scott Ian and Rob Caggiano from Anthrax, Joe Trohman and Andy Hurley of Fall Out Boy, and Keith Buckley and Josh Newton of Every Time I Die.

Ironiclast, the band’s debut album entitled was released December 14 through Island Records, with a sound that blends elements from each group, but with a focus on taking it back to the roots of heavy riff rock and blues.
For his work with The Damned Things project Scott has decided to use the legendary SH-4 JB Model along side his Custom Shop Signature El Diablo pickup. “My JB’s work perfect for the cleaner tone I am using for this project,” he says. “They clean up great while still giving me a really powerful rock sound.”
The Damned Things are currently on the road in the U.S. and Canada. This is a show you do not want to miss.
