From 'Lemmy' filmmaker Wes Orshoski comes the story of the long-ignored pioneers of punk: The Damned.
The long-ignored pioneers of punk, The Damned started out as trailblazers on London s 70s punk rock scene, being the first British punk band to release a single, the immortaI New Rose in 1976. They were the first of their band s genre to release an album, and the first to tour the United States, performing to selI out crowds, where they left a Iasting musical legacy.
However the criticaI adoration lavished on contemporaries like The Clash and Sex PistoIs always eluded them.
Shot around the globe over three years, the fiIm charts the band's compIex history and infighting. lt captures the band on a world tour and foIIows its estranged former members striking out on their own anniversary tour.
With contributions from Chrissie Hynde, Mick Jones (The CIash), Lemmy and members of Pink FIoyd, Black Flag, Guns 'N' Roses, the Sex PistoIs, BIondie and The Buzzcocks. |
