The Damned Damned Damned Damned

Damned Damned Damned is the groundbreaking debut album from The Damned and one of the most important releases in the history of punk rock. Originally released in February 1977, it followed the band's landmark debut single New Rose—the first single ever issued by a British punk band—and became the first full-length British punk album.

Powered by the original line-up of Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Brian James and Rat Scabies, Damned Damned Damned captures the explosive energy that set The Damned apart from their contemporaries. Fast, loud and packed with infectious hooks, the album favours pure rock 'n' roll excitement over political slogans, delivering a relentless collection of songs that helped define the sound of the UK punk movement.

Featuring classics including Neat Neat Neat, New Rose, Fan Club, Born To Kill and Feel The Pain, the album remains every bit as exhilarating today as it was upon its original release. Its influence can still be heard across generations of punk, garage rock and alternative bands.

This 2026 reissue celebrates one of punk's true cornerstones, arriving as the original lineup reunites to perform the album in full, reaffirming the enduring legacy of a record that changed British music forever.
