The music Tim Stewart and Jonny Goood create as Damnage defies simple categorization. Having formed while working as support artist on a tour, these musicians and songwriters are now stepping out from the shadows to take center stage and deliver a sound that is all their own.

Tim grew up a Bay Area punk kid with space in his heart for new wave and soul; for Pittsburgh-born Jonny, music was a foreign word outside of playing drums in church before he discovered the worlds of rock, punk, and hip-hop that lay beyond. Marrying these musical influences, the forthcoming tracks reference elements of punk, post-punk, alternative, electronic, and new wave with an urban through-line and an undeniable pop sensibility.

Trading off singing duties, Jonny delivers lyrics with the impassioned immediacy of hr from Bad Brains (“As a black man in America, sometimes I just need to scream!”). While Tim’s vocals range a penetrating rasp to the cold throb of darkwave. Encompassing all sections of life, listening to Damnage allows you to feel the hot and the cold all at once.
