Imho, it's only really Brian James era Damned that's musically very punk. If you think in terms of punk as an attitude rather than a musical style then The Damned are a punk band. I tend to think of them more in terms of producing intelligent pop music ... which is quite an anarchic thing to be doing anyhow.
