Johnny Moped
Few bands on the Damaged Goods roster are loved as much as Johnny Moped. One of the original ’77 punk bands they were at the heart of the London punk scene, regulars at the Roxy Club, and highly regarded by both fans and their peers. Our involvement with the band started in 2006 when we released the Johnny Moped Bootleg Tapes Vol 1&2, a compilation of rarities. Since then the revitalised band released a brand new studio album in 2016 called It’s A Real Cool Baby, closely followed by a reissue of their 1978 classic Cycledelic. Tours around Europe followed, as did a string of dates in the UK supporting longtime associates The Damned. The band have also had successful appearances at Rebellion Punk Festival in Blackpool and recorded sessions for Marc Riley’s BBC 6Music show.
