“The Isle of the Damned” – The Damned Tribute Tee

The first to do it. The last to be forgotten.

This original Banshees design is a handcrafted tribute to The Damned — the very first punk band in the UK to release a full-length album. Long before punk became fashion, they were smashing stages, breaking rules, and rewriting music history.

The collage features authentic vintage newspaper clippings collected during the band’s earliest rise, capturing raw headlines like “Who let these guys into the Top Thirty?” and “The Year Punk Broke.” Front and centre: a visceral black-and-white shot of frontman Dave Vanian, paired with a hand-detailed punk badge graphic and the cut-out phrase “Isle of the Damned.”

Every Banshees shirt is completely unique — even across multiple prints, no two are the same. Each one is hand-pressed, hand-sewn, and built with an intentional edge. These aren’t just shirts — they’re artifacts.
