Van Dammes are a Finnish four-piece garage punk band from Helsinki, originally formed in Brussels in 2013.
Already their first recording, The VD EP, was noted in various music blogs in 2014.[1] It was also the New Music Show's record of the week on Radio Helsinki.[2] As their fast and concise style became more known, the second EP, Better Than Sex, gained attention of the two major Finnish music magazines Rumba and Soundi in 2015.[3][4] The EP was recorded in a same place where Ramones performed in the 1970s.[5] It includes tributes to a Yugoslav flight attendant Vesna Vulović and a man called Frank Tower who supposedly survived the sinking of three ocean liners.[6][7] Van Dammes have also released a tribute song to a Japanese ski jumper 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]
