Rarely does a year pass in the ongoing saga of The Damned without incident. They’re that kind of band. The first UK purveyors of punk on to vinyl, the first to the US, to split, to re-form. They’ve been this Damned, that Damned, the other Damned, they’ve even been the Doomed (both by name and by nature). But in recent times they’ve pulled off a late-career renaissance that few could have ever expected.
