| | The Damned - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the phase of their career from roughly 1979 to 1984, they were also (uniquely among original British punk bands) foundational to the young bands who created hardcore punk. | | | The Damned were not generally respected at this point, having been accused by punks of being opportunists and poseurs, and by the wider public of being one hit wonders. | | | Original guitarist Brian James (Brian Robertson) was a member of the early punk band London SS, a unit that never played live, but whose members later found fame in bands including The Clash and Generation X. |

| | Rat Scabies was the drummer in the Damned, the third biggest British punk band ever. | | | A dizzy and highly enjoyable caper after the Holy Grail with music journalist Dawes and Rat Scabies, drummer for the seminal punk band Damned. | | | And of course there's the guy who dragged Dawes into the quest in the first place: Rat Scabies (aka Chris Millar), former drummer for the Damned, one of the seminal British punk bands of the 1970s and, as it turns out, Dawes' new neighbor. |

| | Members of the English world-techno group Loop Guru and drummer Rat Scabies of The Damned have teamed up under the band name Slipper, with an album, "Zoon Sandwich". | | | Every bit as weird, wonderful and wobbly as its predecesor, Slipper's second album, Zoon Sandwich, is a surreal blend of Gothic jazz, disjointed samples and torch siren vocals. | | | The band has been described as Portishead with a sense of humour and this best sums up their style on Zoon Sandwich, their second album, out now on Elsewhen Records. |

| | The Damned: album reviews and ratings |
| | Clocking in at just over thirty minutes in length, this album is a cornucopia of tremendously fast yet artistically sophisticated and highly developed songs, most of which were written by James. | | | The record encompasses everything that made the Damned, in its original form, consisting of vocalist Dave Vanian, drummer Rat Scabies, Brian James on guitar and the indefatigable Captain Sensible taking up bass duty, so memorable... | | | Too much so for The Pistols who kicked them off their support slot midway through the 'Anarchy in The UK' tour, although they soon hit the mark with American audiences who lapped up the band's early 1977 dates - the first by a British punk band in the USA. |
