The Damned

The Damned came together in 1976 and were the first UK punk band to release a single ("New Rose") and album ("Damned Damned Damned").   The Damned, lead by founding members David Vanian and Captain Sensible have continued to innovate over their 47 year career, launching the look and sound of the Goth movement and scoring genre-bending UK chart singles such as "Love Song," "Eloise," and "Grimly Fiendish." Their first release on earMUSIC, the concert extravaganza "A Night of a Thousand Vampires," hit #1 on the UK Music Film chart, proving them living legends with a huge following fueled by constant touring and ferocious live shows. In October 2020, over 40 years after the founding members parted ways, The Damned announced a series of reunion shows with the original line-up consisting of Dave Vanian (vocals), Brian James (guitar), Captain Sensible (bass), and Rat Scabies (drums). November 3rd, 2022, saw the band performing at the fully packed O2 Apollo in Manchester, UK, delivering an energetic 21-song set drawn from their first two albums. This legendary reunion show, "AD 2022 - Live in Manchester", will be available as of September 13th.
