Punk pioneer Brian James — best known as a founding member and guitarist of The Damned — delivers Kicks…And Diabolik Licks, a seven-track album recorded in Brighton with long-time collaborator Austen "Aust Pig" Gayton. The record leans firmly into raw, driving rock energy, drawing comparisons to the likes of Ron Asheton and Wayne Kramer, with no single track overstaying its welcome beyond five minutes.
Tragically, Kicks…And Diabolik Licks stands as Brian James's final album, completed only weeks before his untimely death and released in 2026 — the 50th anniversary year of punk. This limited yellow vinyl pressing makes it a deeply significant piece of music history, both as a fitting farewell from one of punk's founding architects and as a collector's artifact tied to a landmark moment in the genre's legacy.
