DAMNAGE’s new single “Wild In The Streets” is a reminder that punk doesn’t need to be rebranded — it just needs to be real. With the legendary Greg Hetson on guitar and the band refusing to overthink a single moment, this cover punches through the noise with the urgency of a riot siren.


Recorded live at Hetson’s LA studio in just a few hours, the track is gloriously unpolished. Every raw vocal line, every feedback squeal, every thunderous drum fill is left untouched — not because the band couldn’t fix it, but because they shouldn’t. That’s the point. This is punk the way it was always meant to be: unfiltered and unapologetic.


There’s something uniquely powerful about hearing a band that’s played stadiums strip it all down like this. Stewart, Drummond, and Peterson have resumes that stretch from Lady Gaga to Machine Gun Kelly — but in DAMNAGE, all that polish gets torched. What’s left is pure intention and fierce camaraderie.


And let’s talk about that collaboration. Hetson doesn’t just appear for street cred — he clearly vibes with this band’s spirit. His playing is razor-sharp, and you can hear the mutual respect between the four musicians. It’s not a feature — it’s a passing of the torch with a lighter still lit.


DAMNAGE’s version of “Wild In The Streets” doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel. Instead, it straps the wheel to a shopping cart and throws it down a hill. Fast, chaotic, joyful destruction. The way punk should feel.


In a world where punk is constantly repackaged, DAMNAGE have done something better: they’ve played it straight — no tricks, no gimmicks, just heart, sweat, and noise. And it’s glorious.
