Naz Nomad and The Nightmares released one album, entitled ''Give Daddy The Knife Cindy'' (1984). The album was packaged to look like the re-issue of a 1967 soundtrack album to a (fictitious) low budget American horror film. A copyright notice on the front cover claimed the film was "Copyright 1967 American Screen Destiny Pictures", and credits are given for the film's stars, director and producer.

The album itself featured [[cover version|covers]] of songs originally recorded by [[garage rock]] and [[psychedelic rock|psychedelic]] acts of the 1960s who had influenced the Damned, plus two original numbers in the same style. Each member of the band took on pseudonyms different from those used in the Damned for the project.<ref>"Dave Vanian becomes Mr. Nomad, while Roman Jugg turns into Sphinx Svenson, and Rat Scabies into Nick Detroit". {{ cite web | url = {{Allmusic|class=album|id=r45754|pure_url=yes}} | title = Give Daddy the Knife Cindy | publisher = [[Allmusic]] | author = Raggett, Ned | accessdate = 2006-09-10 }}</ref>
