The Damned Announce ‘NOT LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE’ Album, Out January 23

Legendary punk and gothic rock pioneers The Damned are set to release their new covers album, NOT LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, on January 23 via earMUSIC. The album serves as a heartfelt tribute to founding guitarist Brian James, capturing the raw energy and creativity that defined the band’s early years. Recorded in just five intense days at Revolver Studio in Los Angeles, it marks the return of drummer Rat Scabies to the studio with the band for the first time in four decades.
According to a press release from The Damned’s management, fans who pre-order the album through the Official Album Store starting October 29th will receive three exclusive 7” vinyl singles featuring previously unreleased B-sides.
The first single from the forthcoming album, “There’s A Ghost In My House”, reimagines R. Dean Taylor’s classic with The Damned’s unmistakable energy and dark charm. Driven by Captain Sensible’s urgent guitar and Dave Vanian’s atmospheric vocal delivery, the track perfectly blends Northern soul spirit and gothic rock swagger. It’s both a nod to Brian James’s love of raw, melodic power and a reminder of The Damned’s gift for turning familiar songs into something entirely their own. The single will be accompanied by a music video directed by Gilbert Trejo and filmed during the band’s recent US tour. Both will be released this Thursday, October 30th. Pre-save the single here.

Ground-breaking rock band The Damned exploded on to the British music scene more than forty-five years ago. Following their formation in 1976, The Damned became the first UK band in the punk rock genre to release a single (“New Rose”) and then an album (DAMNED, DAMNED, DAMNED). Initially associated with the British punk rock movement and then gothic rock, the band went on to release ten studio albums and several UK-charting singles which ran the gamut from punk rock to gothic to even the pop genre. They have legions of hardcore fans worldwide and have firmly established themselves as one of most powerful and theatrical live bands in the world.
