  • The Damned Announce New Covers Album “Not Like Everybody Else”

    The Damned have announced a new covers album titled “Not Like Everybody Else.” The effort will be released on March 6, 2026 and it can be pre-saved HERE. Three 7″ vinyl singles featuring unreleased b-sides will be available as well.

    “Not Like Everybody Else” Track Listing:

    01. “There’s A Ghost In My House” (R. Dean Taylor cover)
    02. “Summer In The City” (Lovin’ Spoonful cover)
    03. “Making Time” (The Creation cover)
    04. “Gimme Danger” (The Stooges cover)
    05. “See Emily Play” (Pink Floyd cover)
    06. “I’m Not Like Everybody Else” (The Kinks cover)
    07. “Heart Full Of Soul” (The Yardbirds cover)
    08. “You Must Be A Witch” (The Lollipop Shoppe cover)
    09. “When I Was Young” (The Animals cover)
    10. “The Last Time” (The Rolling Stones cover)

    The Damned commented:

    “The Damned would proudly like to announce the release of a new studio album titled “Not Like Everybody Else”.

    The LP is a tribute to the late Brian James and each tune has been chosen because they were by artists that had an impact on Brians guitar playing and in turn his songwriting and in turn the Damned as a band.

    The album is made up of 10 tracks which we recorded in just 5 days at the end of a hectic US tour, which made the timing perfect – we were in exactly the right frame of mind to give it our all.

    Dave Vanian, Paul Gray and Captain Sensible were joined in the studio by Rat Scabies, who hadn’t sat on the Damned drum throne for 30 years and what a difference he makes.

    “Not Like Everybody Else” also has an irony not to be missed as track 10 is the encore that we recorded at Hammersmith Apollo on 29 October 2022 and is a live version of “This Could Be The Last Time” which sadly it was, as it was the very last time Brian played on stage with the Damned.

    Pre-save now: https://damned.lnk.to/NotLikeEverybodyElsePR

    The first single to be released on 30th October is R Dean Taylor’s classic “There’s A Ghost In My House” delivered with the unmistakable energy and dark charm that the Damned do so well.

    Pre-save now: https://damned.lnk.to/TheresAGhostInMyHousePR

    The track will be accompanied by a music video directed by award winning director Gilbert Trejo which was filmed during the recent US tour & will also be released on 30th October.

    To go along with the hubbub of a new album and by way of shameless self promotion the Damned will be playing a one off exclusive show featuring said album and probably a few other covers thrown in at the Albert Hall, Manchester on the 28th January 2026.

    It promises to be an unforgettable night honouring Brian James and the band’s shared musical history.

    Now for the hard sell –
    Pre-order the album from this Wednesday, 10am via the link in our bio to receive pre-sale access for our Manchester show. Ticket link and access code will be included within your album pre-order confirmation email.

    That’s all folks,

    The Damned…”

  • Chimaira Announce New Rarities Compilation “Creepers Vol 1”

    Chimaira have announced a new compilation album titled “Creepers Vol 1.” The effort will be available on October 31 and it will feature b-sides and rarities from 2011 to 2014.

    “Creepers Vol 1” Track Listing:

    01. “Year Of The Snake” (Dubba Jonny Mix)
    02. “Your Days Are Numbered“
    03. “Scum Of The Earth“
    04. “Clockwork” (Hunter Mix)
    05. “New Apocalypse“
    06. “The Dehumanizing Process” (2013 Slow And Low Mix)
    07. “Outshined” (Soundgarden cover)
    08. “Wild Thing” (The Troggs cover)

    Vocalist Mark Hunter commented:

    “We’ve been working to bring you streaming versions of some of our rarest B-sides.

    Back in the day the A-side was the hit single and the B-side was the “extra content” – experimental songs, non-album tracks, or covers. Usually, they sucked. Sometimes you’d get a “Breadfan” or “God Save the Queen”, but let’s not kid ourselves – you’re not getting that here. These are the songs that didn’t make our albums for a reason.

    But if surviving the cutting room floor is a badge of honor, these tracks wear it proudly. Some fans love them. Others think we were right to bury them. Most didn’t know they existed.

    Enjoy Creepers Vol 1 this Halloween.

    Vol 1 focuses on 2011-2014 – the Age of Hell through Crown of Phantoms era.

    We hope to release Vol 2 soon.”

  • Lee Gaze Says His New Project Is “More Like” Lostprophets

    Lee Gaze has shared some more information on his new project. According to him, the music will be similar to his old band Lostprophets, which infamously came to an end due to the crimes of recently murdered pedofile Ian Watkins.

    Gaze had the following exchange:

    Fan: “Can’t wait. Sounds a bit rockier/heavier than No Devotion?”

    Gaze: “More like my old band”

    He continued:

    “It has tracks as heavy as Ride and as poppy as Last Summer. An eclectic mix”

    He also added:

    “700 new followers 👋🏻 I’m slowly trying to refollow all, maybe that will change my algorithm for the better. For those that missed it, I spent the last year writing a record that sounds like the music I’m probably most known for. I have ten songs and we are in the process of mixing some tracks to send to a potential singer. Stu is also involved. Hoping to release this in 2026.”
