DAMAGE
Synth-Punk Pioneers
...in the great tradition of the SCREAMERS and SUICIDE, they rely on synth. You’d never know it...just two hard-driving machines, drums, and vocals.
Tim Yohannan
MAXIMUMROCKNROLL, Oct 1986
The rudest, rawest, most chaotic synth band this reviewer has ever heard, period.
Music Reviews
KEYBOARD MAGAZINE, Oct 1986
Damage from Florida are one of the best, if not the only successful keyboard punk band since the Screamers.
Jello Biafra
ALTERNATIVE TENTACLES RECORDS, 1986
Damage dared to break and blur those boundaries, wielding keytars like cudgels.

ABOUT DAMAGE
DAMAGE is a pioneering synth-punk band formed in the early 80s that combines live drums with analog synthesizers to create synthcore - or punk rock played on keyboards. Often compared to seminal synth-punk acts like The Screamers, Suicide, and Units, DAMAGE pushed the speed and raw aggression of American hardcore into new, unexplored territory. Throughout the '80s and early '90s, DAMAGE toured and performed alongside legendary bands such as Adrenaline O.D., Adolescents, Dead Kennedys, Battalion of Saints, and SNFU, as well as post-punk and experimental icons like Fugazi, The Flaming Lips, and Alien Sex Fiend.
After an extended hiatus, DAMAGE began recording and performing in 2024, releasing their fourth album, MODERN WORLD, in 2025. Their new EP, How To Talk To Humans, will be available May 15th, 2026 on 12" Vinyl, CD, and Streaming.
