Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The Damned are one of the original British punk bands, although they have mutated beyond punk rock in the decades since they were first formed in 1976. The original line-up consisted of Dave Vanian (Vocals), Brian James (Guitar), Captain Sensible (Bass) and Rat Scabies (Drums). They released both the first British punk single (“New Rose”) and British punk album (Damned Damned Damned) before becoming the first British punk band to tour the United States. Interestingly enough they were not the first British punk band to break up (that was the Sex Pistols; the Damned were second) but they were the first to re-form. The subsequent line up had Captain Sensible replacing the departed Brian James on guitar and whatever bassist they could find[1] that week replacing the Captain on the bottom section. It was during this period that the band - which thanks to their vampyric crooning frontman Vanian had always dabbled in the dark - began to take on a more gothic sound, which helped give birth to the Gothic Rock subgenre. |
