SUMMER OF DAMIEN

About Me

Everything started in the spring of 2001 with 2 friends, Ricardo on guitar and Rodrigo on drums.They went to a garage and started to share some ideas and making some fast and agressive music. After a few days, Ricardo called his friend Batman to join the band and play bass...Later, on the beginning of the summer, they called Diogo to sing, because they thought he would be the perfect front man for them. During the summer they were playing on the garage more or less 5 times a week, writing fast, melodic songs mixed with some agressive and dissonant riffs, combined with lyrics about feelings and love frustrations. Sooner that they thought, they started playing and supporting some portuguese bands and international ones, such as Sin Dios, Milkfiction, Simbiose, Aside, Primitive Reason, Fonzie ... After more or less one year of playing live, they felt that they should have an extra guitar player, so that's when Ze Pedro, from a friends band called Whoz Next joined in... and after 1-2 months they recorded their first demo, in Maravilha Studios, that was never official out... With a couple of more concerts, a good friend, Jorge Felizardo picked up the band, and being the one who believed more in the band than anyone else, he called Marstein Bailey to record and help produce the first Ep. On January 2003 they went 1 week to Too Late Studios and recorded their only "oficial" EP "Sorry, sorry songs". With the release of it, they kept on playing 'till the end of that year, when Diogo told he wanted to quit... They continued to try to find a vocalist to replace him, but after a few months the rest of the band thought that would be better to end and keep the good memories alive....so the people who knew them could keep singing..."Last time you called you brought me back to life...."
