THE DAMNED release details of forthcoming EP The Rockfield Files; new single 'Keep 'Em Alive' out now

THE DAMNED have announced their new EP, The Rockfield Files, due for release on 16th October 2020 via Search and Destroy Records/UMG. 

The first single from the EP, 'Keep 'Em Alive', has been released today along with an accompanying music video, shot from the perspective of a bee going about its business. Bees are essential for pollinating crops and in turn human survival; 17 species are reportedly endangered in the UK – keep ‘em alive!

In 1980/1981, THE DAMNED went to Rockfield for a series of sessions that eventually became The Black Album, The Friday 13th EP & Strawberries. Their time there produced some of THE DAMNED’s greatest musical moments and memorable stories of horses, cows, vampires, rifles and Lemmy.

In 2019 THE DAMNED returned to Rockfield studios to record the first new music since 2018’s Top Ten Evil Spirits album. The line-up included three out of the four THE DAMNED members that were at the original sessions – David Vanian, Captain Sensible and Paul Gray. There was also Monty Oxymoron on keyboards and Pinch on drums. Unbeknown to the band, this was to be the last recordings with the long-time drummer Pinch, who departed THE DAMNED after their legendary show at The London Palladium, last Halloween.

For the first time, Tom Dalgety (Royal Blood, Rammstein, Ghost) took over the producer duties for the EP. Tom also mixed the tracks at his studio in Bath.

The Rockfield Files EP is available in Black & Psychedelic Swirl limited edition vinyl, pre-orders are available here: https://thedamned.lnk.to/TheRockfieldFiles
