The Damned

British rock band that formed in 1976 in London, England. The Damned, who started among the leaders of the second wave of punk rock, gradually created their own eclectic and constantly changing style with elements of gothic, art, and power pop rock. The Damned went down in history for a "triple first": they released the first British punk single ("New Rose") and punk album (Damned, Damned, Damned), and besides that, were the first of the British punk bands to tour America.
