Following a hugely successful UK tour which saw British punk legends
The Damned rev up 2018 by playing to over 23,000 rabid fans, including two back to back sold out London shows, the band return this month with a double A side single that is now available via
Spotify. Culled from their forthcoming
Evil Spirits album, that will be released on April 13th via
Search And Destroy Records and
Spinefarm Records, the band have released two new songs,
Look Left and
Devil In Disguise that perfectly represent the albums many shifting moods and styles.
Evil Spirits is now available to pre-order
here.

Look Left is The Damned at their most epic and grandiose; a sweeping sugar-coated mind-grenade, addressing post-millennial society’s “media-induced coma” over lush vocal melodies and show tune theatrics. Written by drummer
Pinch as a love song to the human race, the lush balladry holds a heavy lyrical theme within. Next up,
Devil In Disguise is an energetic garage-punk monster, replete with
Monty Oxy Moron‘s era-specific Farfisa organ, a raunchy Vanian vocal attack and classic Sensible guitar chimes. Recorded by famed producer
Tony Visconti,
Evil Spirits is the result of a frantic, high-energy burst of creativity at Atomic Sound studios in Brooklyn in October of 2017, with
Black Album and
Strawberries era-bassist
Paul Gray back in the fold.
