Hold onto your eyeliner, butt — The Damned have just unleashed a brand-new cover of a Pink Floyd classic, and it’s lifted straight from their upcoming album Not Like Everybody Else. And honestly? It SLAPS harder than a mosh pit at 2am in Pontypridd. π€π₯
The legendary punk-goth misfits have taken Floyd’s psychedelic majesty and drenched it in that unmistakable Damned flavour — think swirling organs, snarling vocals, and enough dramatic flair to summon the spirit of every Camden vampire from 1976 to now. π§♂️✨
This isn’t just a cover.This is The Damned grabbing a prog-rock masterpiece, chucking it into a blender with a pint of Guinness, and screaming “C’MON BUTT, LET’S HAVE IT!”
πΆ From the new album Not Like Everybody Else
Their new record is shaping up to be a proper job love letter to oddballs, outsiders, goths, punks, weirdos, and anyone who ever felt like the black sheep at a school disco. The Damned have ALWAYS thrived in that space — and this new cover proves they’re still the kings of it.
Not Like Everybody Else promises:
- π₯ Reinvented classics
- π¦ Dark, theatrical Damned originals
- π€ Covers with a bloody attitude
- ⚡ And all the campy chaos we adore
What’s occurring? Pure magic, mun.
π€ Why This Cover Works
Because The Damned don’t just play a song — they haunt it. They twist it into their own theatrical, gothic universe, where Captain Sensible’s riffs lurk in the shadows and Dave Vanian croons like a Victorian vampire doing karaoke.
It’s bold.It’s weird.It’s beautifully unnecessary.It’s The Damned. π
π€ Riff Report Final Verdict
This era of The Damned?Tidy as hell.
Get ready for the album drop — it’s going to be one of those releases that makes you reach for the black nail polish and shout “ONLY IN WALES, MUN…” while blasting it at unholy volume. π§π https://theriffreport.co.uk/05/12/2025/%f0%9f%8e%b8%f0%9f%a6%87-the-damned-premiere-a-wild-gothy-cover-of-a-pink-floyd-classic-and-its-lush-mun-%f0%9f%8c%88%f0%9f%96%a4/
