The band: London punk with a darker edge

Formed in London, England, in 1976, The Damned emerged from the first wave of British punk. Their original lineup included Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Brian James and Rat Scabies. The 1976 single “New Rose” and 1977 debut album Damned Damned Damned helped establish their place in the UK's early punk movement.

Punk brought urgency, raw guitars and a do-it-yourself spirit to rock music. The Damned later expanded beyond that starting point, exploring psychedelic textures and gothic-rock sounds. Dave Vanian's dramatic presence and the band's darker direction made them an enduring reference point for both punk and goth audiences.

~ The Smash It Up story:

“Smash It Up” appeared on the band's 1979 album Machine Gun Etiquette. Its contrast between a melodic instrumental opening and an energetic vocal section captures The Damned's ability to pair musical range with punk exuberance. This “Smash It Up Collage” tee celebrates that title through front-printed artwork. It is not presented as an original 1979 garment or a tour-specific souvenir.
