The Damned: “played their first gig on 6 July 1976, supporting the Sex Pistols at the 100 Club. They were the first of the London punk bands to release a single on the independent record label Stiff Records. That single, ‘New Rose’, was described by critic Ned Raggett as a “deathless anthem of nuclear-strength romantic angst”
That was then, and this is now, and The Damned are still playing
