Formed in London in 1976, The Damned is a punk band that is credited with founding what would later be called the gothic genre of music. Their music careers provided many "firsts" for the punk rock genre. They were the first punk band to formally release a single, which was titled "New Rose." They were also the first punk band to release a full-length album, to have an album hit the UK music charts and to tour in the US.
The Damned are an iconic gothic punk band that continues to tour throughout the world. They haven't simply played with the punk and rock greats, such as the Sex Pistols, Blondie and Motorhead; they are one of the greats. p>
