Nomen est omen

This documentary brought The Damned out of obscurity for me. A band with an incredible history of Top of the Pops appearances, the first UK punk single, chart hits, solo successes, launching Lemmy Kilmister and the bassist of Culture Club just on a side note. Despite being ahead of their time and repeatedly making it into the charts, their nomen seems to have been their omen, ultimately splitting the band into two warring factions.
