The Damned

Background Information on The Damned


Before I look further into doing my trailer for a documentary, I must look into the band itself, The Damned, in which Roman came from.


The Damned are an English gothic punk band formed in London in 1976. They were the first punk rock band from the United Kingdom to release a single ("New Rose"), an album (Damned Damned Damned), to have a record on the UK music charts, and to tour the United States. The Damned later evolved into one of the forerunners of the gothic genre. They have incorporated numerous styles into their music and image, including: garage rock, psychedelic rock, cabaret, and the theatrical rock of Screaming Lord Sutch and Alex Harvey.

An acquaintance of Paul Gray (bassist of The Damned), Jugg was hired in late 1981, recording various projects for The Damned. After Captain Sensible left The Damned in 1984, Jugg moved from keyboards to main guitar and became a full member on the studio albums Phantasmagoria and Anything.
