On this day, December 5, 1981, Black Flag released their debut album, Damaged. A defining record in the hardcore punk movement, the album featured raw energy, confrontational lyrics, and a rebellious spirit that resonated with fans of the underground scene.

With Henry Rollins as the lead vocalist, Damaged included iconic tracks like “Rise Above,” “TV Party,” and “Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie.” The album’s intense sound and unapologetic themes made it a cornerstone of punk music and an inspiration for countless bands that followed.
