The Damned made history twice before most bands make it once. On October 22, 1976, they became the first British punk band to release a single with "New Rose," then followed it with Damned Damned Damned, the first British punk album, on February 18, 1977. Released on Stiff Records and charting at #36 in the UK, it clocked in at just under 30 minutes and delivered more rock and roll energy than most bands manage in a career. Where others preached, The Damned played.
Nearly 50 years on, Damned Damned Damned stands as a landmark of the genre.
