With the final single from their upcoming covers album, Not Like Everybody Else, Punk legends The Damned deliver a vibrant reinterpretation of The Lovin’ Spoonful’s classic Summer in the City. With driving guitars and raw, energetic delivery, the cover heightens the song’s gritty urban edge and captures the heat and restless pulse of the city life through a distinctly Damned lens.
Recorded in a blistering five days of emotion and creative fire at Revolver Studio, Los Angeles, the album finds The Damned – Dave Vanian on vocals, Captain Sensible on guitar, Rat Scabies on drums, Paul Gray on bass and joined by longtime keyboardist Monty Oxymoron – reconnecting with the raw energy that started it all. Not Like Everybody Else marks the first time in 40 years that Rat Scabies has returned to the studio with the band.
Every song on the album has been carefully curated by the band and is a personal and celebratory tribute to the band’s late guitarist Brian James and his influences, who passed away last year. Pre-save the album Not Like Everybody Else HERE
