2026 studio album by the Damned
Not Like Everybody Else is the thirteenth studio album by the English rock band the Damned, released on 23 January 2026 through earMusic and produced by Mikal Blue. It is a collection of cover songs made in tribute to the band’s late guitarist Brian James.
Background and recording
[edit]
In March 2025, founding member and guitarist Brian James died.[7] Later that year, in tribute of the late guitarist after the U.S. leg of a tour, the band recorded a series of cover songs that were favourites of his at Revolver Studios in Los Angeles,[9] finishing within five days. James posthumously features on the Rolling Stones cover “The Last Time“, with guitar taken from his final live performances with the band in 2022 at the Hammersmith Apollo. The album also marks drummer Rat Scabies‘ first studio appearance with the Damned since his return in 2024.[5]
Singles and release
[edit]
Alongside the announcement for Not Like Everybody Else, it was led with the single and R. Dean Taylor cover “There’s a Ghost in My House” on 30 October 2025.[10] Two more singles were released in anticipation of the album:, the Pink Floyd cover “See Emily Play” on 4 December[11] and the Lovin’ Spoonful cover “Summer in the City” on 16 January the following year.[12] Not Like Everybody Else was released on 23 January 2026 through the label Earmusic,[7] and it debuted on the UK Albums Chart at no. 23.[13]
