Drunken Fight by Damage

Damage is a LOUD project based in Melbourne, Australia formed by songwriter Frank Linehan in 2019, spreading his hardcore message of hope through Punk & Heavy Metal. Frank is a long time member of the Wild At Heart Community Arts songwriting community and has performed in notable venues such as MEMO Hall and Leadbeater Hotel as well as festivals such as UNMUTED Festival, Summer Sounds Festival and Resonate Festival.

Frank Linehan’s musical journey began at a young age, accompanying his father to live performances at pubs and clubs as a child, and soon following suit picking up the guitar in his late teens and forming a garage covers band with his brother and friends. Frank ceased his musical pursuits in 1993 due to the associations rock n roll can tend to form with drugs and alcohol.

25 years later, Frank received an invitation from a friend to attend a blues club in Brunswick, and watching the performers inspired him to pick up the guitar again, and soon after he joined the Wild At Heart songwriting community. Frank quickly became a prolific songwriter - writing and releasing his debut album Drunken Fight in 2020 with no prior songwriting experience. Title track Drunken Fight is about consequences and escapades of drinking leading to fights, while Making Amends refers to an AA principle to clean our side of the street by making amends to people past, present and future. Let’s Go Surfing Man brings on the nostalgia of Linehan’s teen years travelling the south coast ie Angelsea, Barwon Heads, Torquay as a teenager.

Drunken Fight promises good things to come from Frank LInehan and Damage, with a second album to be released in early 2023.

Damage like it loud - based in Melbourne/Naarm, Australia, Linehan founded his band in 2019, spreading a determined, heartfelt message of hope through punk ethos & heavy metal mass.
