A big congratulations to Ireland's own DAMAGEFLAG. These young thrashers inked a deal with Punkerama Records which will release the band's debut EP on November 1st.
If you have yet to hear Damageflag's music, these guys crank out driving thrash with mind-hooking riffage and an overwhelming sense of having a hell of a good time.
Their tune Ride Like Hell has branded itself in my brain. The main riff is genius and the chorus is perfect for the live-performance-audience-participation scream along.
Listen to their goods below and then hit Damageflag up here.
RIDE LIKE HELLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!
i love this band,a lot of great rock and thrash and punk coming out of ireland right now
ReplyDeleteUse guys need a track by track review when the E.P. launches js...
ReplyDeleteSongs need a lot of work. "Ride Like Hell" sounds extremely similar to Motorhead's "Ace Of Spades". The music is ok, but it's all been done before. Not really bringing anything new to the table. The vocals are woeful. Some potential but a lot of work needed in the future.
ReplyDeleteHey, Thanks to everyone who has commented and read the review. Im the singer and we have taken all your tips onboard, working hard and we are just enjoying it at the min. Ride like Hell actually sounds more like Poison was the Cure by Megadeth in my opinion. Damageflag arnt about inventing new genres or being musical master minds we simply love thrash and we want to play it. The fact that we have got this far is an honour and we intend to work harder. Please visit us on facebook.

DeleteJude from Damageflag
well we didnt set out to be the best band in the world so whatever you think. btw dude Hows YOUR band doing??
ReplyDeleteIts funny because the last poster is actually in a band. That are very good. Oh, Damageflag, you little scamps.
Deleteboriiiiing =( Yea,it's sounds like Motorhead,but who is needed this? Want to be best band or not-you just need to have intention to do something original and professional. Motorhead is a fathers,but they are already got thousands copies,and you guys is not in a head of it list) Do not tell me about originality,that it is impossible in our time. NO! HAVOK,EVILE,BESIEGED,LICH KING etc. is very recognizable bands with there own charisma and great stile! Find your stile guys,make a little work over yourself!
ReplyDeleteWhat ever happened to encouraging young talent?
DeletePeople arent going to be nice, deal with it, its an industry not an ego stroking competition. if people are saying its boring and you dont like it then work on the music instead of looking for encouragement.
DeleteNot bad by any means. Maybe a lil more work is needed in finding a vocal style,the shift between Ride Like Hell and Lesbianz is jarring.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the feedback! Your words are noted!
ReplyDeleteJude from Damageflag!

Holy fuck those vocals sound awful. Def need a new singer, style and find a bit of orignality. http://www.metalireland.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=54197 .... you needa mature a bit
ReplyDeletei agree i seen the stuff on metalireland and i dont think il ever work with a band that carry on like that!!
DeleteIs this considered music? The singing are horrific, in Lesbianz it sounds more like the sound of a dog barking. This band is in no way original, as previously stated nothing new is being brought to the table. Took a skim through the band page, the T-shirts are awful. You do understand that coping an image off Google you must get the original authors consent to use it? All in all, not worth a look.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.metalireland.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=54956&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 ... best thing to come from ths band umfortunately. you'l gt a giggle outta this. P.s its a follow on for the link tht was left above
ReplyDeleteI saw the stuff on metal ireland, lads you do need to accept not everyone will like you but i also think that the dicks who commented to them were really over the top. It was more about ripping the arse out than giving opinions but meh! Fantastic work on the songs boys! Great to here real thrash again!
