About this album

Shot In The Dark is a tough, no-frills statement from The Inmates, whose sound sits between pub rock grit, garage-rock bite and classic rhythm and blues. Released in 1980, the album finds the band leaning into clipped guitars, driving tempos and a raw, good-time momentum that made them a strong fit for the late-70s British rock circuit. Their version of familiar R&B and rock ’n’ roll instincts gives the record its appeal, balancing muscle with melody and showing why the band became one of the better-known names in the pub rock movement. It remains a solid snapshot of their direct, high-energy approach.
