DAMNED - The Rockfield Files 12"

Anyone who knows music can immediately recognize that The Damned are one of the coolest bands around. From their punk rock days of the late ’70s to becoming one of the very first goth bands in the early ’80s, they are one of those acts that do not get nearly as much credit as they deserve.

Complete with a unique cast of characters – currently including original members, lead singer Dave Vanian and guitarist Captain Sensible, along with bassist Paul Gray and keyboardist Monty Oxymoron – The Damned are back at it again with their latest EP.

Recorded in 2019 at the legendary Welsh studio Rockfield, The Damned find themselves returning to the same scene where a series of sessions took place four decades earlier.

Those sessions would become 1980’s The Black Album, 1981’s The Friday 13th EP, and 1982’s Strawberries. Finding themselves in familiar surroundings, they conjured up four brand new songs worthy of your interest.
