Following their formation in 1976, The Damned is one of the most prestigious bands
coming out of the 70s British punk rock scene. The band emerged from the London punk
scene, earning an ever-expanding fan base fueled by legendary live shows. Their dark
lyrics and Dave Vanian's rich baritone vocals also catapulted The Damned to the
forefront of the Goth-Rock Genre.
Their most recent studio album, “DARKADELIC” (2023), became a major success,
reaching the UK Top 10 and charting across several European territories. The album is
critically by both press and fans and was supported by an extensive European tour that
sold out venues across multiple countries.
Today, The Damned are as successful as ever, following their reunion in the original line-
up, including Dave Vanian on vocals, Captain Sensible on bass, Brian James on guitar, Rat
Scabies on drums and joined by longtime keyboardist Monty Oxymoron. Founding
guitarist Brian James passed away in March 2025, making this chapter in the band’s
history both a celebration of their achievements and a tribute to his lasting influence.
