After decades of chaos, controversy, and countless attempts to write them off, punk rock’s most notorious survivors, The Dwarves, have officially released their new full-length album ‘Jenkem’ via the band’s own label, Greedy Records. To celebrate the album’s arrival, the band has also unveiled the new music video for the infectious punk anthem ‘Damned If I Do’.
The video for ‘Damned If I Do’ the album’s radio-ready single, showcases the band’s songwriting and production chops that shine through despite their punk rock pedigree. Dahlia adds: “Attractive females, Hollywood special effects, and the blasphemous Dwarves combine for a unique viewing experience!”
The new video perfectly captures the band’s irreverent spirit, pairing the song’s undeniable hooks with over-the-top visuals that blur the line between punk rock absurdity and cinematic spectacle. Equal parts satire, sleaze, and classic Dwarves provocation, ‘Damned If I Do’ demonstrates why the band continues to stand apart from nearly every act that emerged alongside them.
Produced by Blag Dahlia and recorded and mixed by Andy Carpenter, ‘Jenkem’ has already earned praise from critics who have hailed it as a return to the band’s classic form.
