New covers album

The Damned / Not Like Everybody Else - new covers album

The Damned will release a new studio album, Not Like Everybody Else, early next year. It’s a covers album, dedicated to the memory of Brian James, the band’s founding guitarist, who died in March this year.

Recorded in five days at Revolver Studio, Los Angeles, The Damned line-up for this album is: Dave Vanian on vocals, Captain Sensible on guitar, Rat Scabies on drums (back in the studio with the band for the first time in 40 years), Paul Gray on bass and keyboardist Monty Oxymoron.

Songs on the album include R. Dean Taylor’s 1974 hit ‘There’s A Ghost In My House’ (video premiering on Thursday) , Pink Floyd’s ‘See Emily Play’, The Animals’ ‘When I Was Young’ and poignantly ‘The Last Time’ by The Rolling Stones featuring Brian James which is taken from his final live performance with The Damned at Hammersmith, in 2022.  

To celebrate the new record, The Damned will play a one-off covers show at Albert Hall, Manchester on 28 January 2026 performing songs from the new album, alongside fan-favourite covers that have marked their career. There’s also going to be a 50th anniversary show at Wembley on Saturday 11 April 2026, 

Not Like Everybody Else will be released on 23 January 2026 via earMUSIC.
