🕯️ 40 years ago today, The Damned unveiled Phantasmagoria — trading punk for cathedral shadows and gothic splendour.
From "Grimly Fiendish", "Is It A Dream?", to "The Shadow of Love", it was velvet noir — theatrical, haunting, iconic.

45 years ago today, a haunting anthem was born.
Joy Division’s “Love Will Tear Us Apart” dropped on this day in 1980, carving its name into post-punk eternity. A track that aches, resonates, and still bleeds truth decades later.
