The Damned

The Damned

The Damned was the first punk rock band in the UK to release a single; and it was the first one that I played in 1977.

The band was also one of my first interviews at my tiny college station. Truly dreadful. Punks to punks.

The Damned has been through various transformations over the years with Dave Vanian, the lead vocalist, the only constant.

Captain Sensible from the original band has rejoined the current lineup.

Evil Spirits is due in the spring and features the anthemic Standing on the Edge of Tomorrow.

Frankie Rose

Frankie Rose, an original member of some our fave bands (Dum Dum Girls, Vivian Girls, Crystal Stilts) has released her 3rd solo album, Herein Wild.

Listen here to the simple pop of the first single “Sorrow” and then her clever cover version of The Damned’s “Street of Dreams”.
