The Damned, pioneers of UK punk, are commemorating their 50th anniversary with reflections from members like Rat Scabies and Captain Sensible, who recall their groundbreaking 1970s tours and enduring legacy. The band has also released a new track, 'Yuragu,' inspired by the Dark Souls video game, and will perform at the 2027 Little Steven’s Underground Garage Cruise.
