DAMNAGE Are Kicking Down The Doors Of Modern Punk

This blistering debut proves the LA trio are ready to start a riot of their own.

Forget the stadium tours and superstar credits — DAMNAGE sound like they’ve crawled out of a basement gig with something to prove, and we’re all better for it. The LA-based trio, made up of musicians who’ve played with Lady Gaga, Rihanna, and The Weeknd, trade pop perfection for pure punk chaos on their explosive debut — and it’s an absolute riot.

Opener “Wasteland” sets the tone fast: snarling guitars, shout-along hooks, and enough sweat-soaked rage to wake up the dead. But this isn’t just mosh-pit fodder. Tracks like “Never See It” and “Try” show off a more emotional underbelly, peeling back the noise to reveal real vulnerability.

Their years on the road clearly taught them precision, but what’s thrilling is how unpolished this record feels in all the right ways. Think Turnstile’s punch, IDLES’ snarl, and the attitude of Amyl and the Sniffers, all fed through a deeply personal lens.

It’s rare for a debut to sound this confident, this alive. DAMNAGE didn’t come to play — they came to tear it all down. And we’re here for every second of it.
