Damage - Band

Damage is an American hardcore band from Orlando, Florida formed in the early 80s with the unique distinction of combining live drums with synthesizers to create what they described as the synthcore sound. Their discography includes the debut cassette release Tennis Shoe Politics from 1983 followed by the unnamed Polar Bears on the Beach 7" EP in 1984, three studio LPs Synthology, Jubilee O' Kindness, and Euphoria followed by a split 7" EP shared with Space Fish Records label mates Love Gods in Leisure Suits. The unusual combination of synths (no guitars) and hardcore punk rock music did not hinder Damage from touring the U.S. 80s hardcore scene headlining shows and on occasion opening for historic bands such Dead Kennedys, Adolescents, 7 Seconds, Government Issue, Battalion of Saints, SNFU, and many others outside the H.C. scene including the Flaming Lips and Alien Sex Fiend.   Damage continues to record and perform as an electronic duo.
