Damned, The - Damned Damned Damned

The Damned blazed a trail when they became the very first British punk band to release a single (New Rose) on 22nd October 1976, which was swiftly followed by the release of the very first British punk album - their classic debut long-player, Damned Damned Damned - originally released by Stiff Records on 18th February 1977.

The album has reached legendary status over the 45 years since its initial release. At just half an hour long, Damned Damned Damned is a stone cold classic of rock & roll fire and coupled with the band's take-no-prisoners aesthetic, the Damned left rhetoric for the theoreticians and political posing for the Clash. All the foursome wanted to do was rock.
