<p>The Damned is an English punk band formed in 1976 by Dave Vanian (vocals), Brian James (guitar), Captain Sensible (bass then guitar), and Rat Scabies (drums). They were the first British punk band to release a single in 1976. In the 1980s, they transitioned to a more psychedelic and gothic sound.</p>

Los Angeles-based independent record label founded in 1992 by entrepreneur and music fan, [a511570].
Brian acquired his love for the music business by becoming an active participant in the Los Angeles club scene through the 1980/90's. The label was officially launched with three releases, [a11286] (a space rock band from the SF bay area), followed by the release of [a233658]'s "On Parole". The third release, was actually a series of reissues by electronic pioneers [a4654].
They specialize in all genres, including A Capella, Acid, Adult, Aggro Rock, Ambient, Big Band, Blues, Breakbeat, Breaks, Chill, Drum & Bass, Electronica, Experimental, Gothic, Hardcore, Indie, Industrial, Krautrock, New Wave, Oi!, Punk, Reggae, Synthpop and Techno.

Originally recorded in California, 1985, 'Fiendish Shadows' captures The Damned playing live at the height of their illustrious career. The recording is of superior quality and perfectly represents the band at the peak of their commercial fame. The album is very representative of how the band sounded during their 'Phantasmagoria' era featuring tracks such as 'Shadow of love' and 'Is it a dream'. 

The live set includes a cover of a track popularized by The Electric Prunes and The 13th Floor Elevators 'I had too much to dream last night'. Track 12 is a rowdy punk cover of Iggy Pop's famous track 'Lust for life'. All in all this is a great and varied collection of some of The Damned's greatest music and a must have for all Damned fans!
