The Damned are a punk rock group originally from Croydon, England, a suburb of London, who were formed in 1976. Despite being one of the definitive early punk bands they were also one of the most ambitious; with their later albums moving away from the breakneck garage sound of their debut and taking in elements from goth and psychedelia to prog and metal.

The Damned and The Adverts at the UC Theatre in Berkeley, CA
“We may be old, but we can still fucking rock!” So shouted Damned guitarist Captain Sensible just before the punk band’s second set in two nights at Portland’s Revolution Hall. The confluence of age and punk has long been germane to the genre.
Less than a year since their last appearance on our shores, and billed as the 'final Australian tour', this reunion of an early line-up with drummer Rat Scabies recent return to the fold is a bonus for this apparent last hurrah of punk-rock icons The Damned.
