Like the Sex Pistols, the Damned imploded soon after their phenomenal debut, but fortunately, they reunited within a year and had a long and remarkably consistent career, a rarity in punk rock.
DamnedDamnedDamned was one of the very first punk albums to be released and it was the first by a British group, as well as one of the very best from the first wave of punk, even though Britains first wave was technically the second wave.
DamnedDamnedDamned was the Damned's first album and certainly their best.
The Damned are a punk rock/gothic rock band formed in London, England in 1976.
The Damned are generally regarded as one of the founders of gothic rock, and their earlier music (roughly 1979-1984) was an influence on the hardcore punk sound of the United States.
As of 2006, The Damned are currently working on their new studio album, have released the new single "Little Miss Disaster", and also the live DVD MGE25 documenting a 2004Manchester concert celebrating the 25th anniversary of Machine Gun Etiquette.
