Their debut recording, The VD EP, garnered attention from various music blogs in 2014, [1] and was named Record of the Week on Radio Helsinki's New Music Show. [2] As their fast and concise style gained recognition, the second EP, Better Than Sex, gained attention from major Finnish music magazines Rumba and Soundi in 2015. [3] [4] The EP was recorded in the same venue where Ramones performed in the 1970s [5] and features tributes to a Yugoslav flight attendant Vesna Vulović and Frank Tower, a man reputed to have survived the sinking of three ocean liners. [6] [7] Van Dammes also released a tribute song to Japanese ski jumping legend Noriaki Kasai. [8] In 2017, with their third EP, Vild Days, Van Dammes dug deep into the oldest roots of punk. [9]
Van Dammes have actively toured Europe, and are currently recording for German Rockstar Records. [10]
