Cover songs are always a tricky thing. But what if the performers are hard-boiled punk veterans like The Damned? Every cover song is sure to become a brand new anthem. They prove this on January 23, 2026 with their new (cover) album “Not Like Everybody Else”. It was recorded in just five days in Los Angeles. Dedicated to founding guitarist Brian James, who passed away in March, the album also features “The Last Time” by The Rolling Stones with Brian James himself, recorded during his last live performance with The Damned. Personal and intense.
