"The Damned return with a personal and celebratory record, “Not Like Everybody Else”, a tribute to the band’s late guitarist Brian James, who passed away on March 6th, 2025. Recorded in an astonishingly swift five days at Revolver Studio in Los Angeles with producer Mikal Blue (OneRepublic, Jason Mraz), the album includes renditions of 10 well-known songs by some of the artists that influenced Brian on his musical journey and inspired the rest of the band. Kicking off with R. Dean Taylor’s “Ghost In My House” and moving through classics like Pink Floyd’s “See Emily Play” and The Animals’ “When I Was Young”, the album closes with The Rolling Stones’ “The Last Time”, a moving track featuring Brian James himself, culled from original live performances and carefully remixed for this release, cementing the record as both a tribute and a farewell.
