5.0 out of 5 stars
Great female fronted rock band, February 1, 2006
This review is from: Out Here All Night (Audio CD)
I've been a fan of Damone since "From the Attic" came out 3 years ago and I must say they have outdone themselves with their new EP "Out Here All night." Each track is a masterpiece and so tightly put together you can tell they have worked hard to get where they are today.
The 5 song EP opens up with "Out here All Night" and is an automatic head banging song contrasted with Noelle's soft but poignant vocal ability. The guitars by her and Mike Wood also add to the bands talent. The last song "Time And Time Again" is also a fine showcase of how soft Noelle's voice can be. There is nothing about this band that I don't like except the fact that they are teasing us with only 5 songs! I cannot wait until the full length is released. If you're already a fan of Damone and are ready for a less bubbly Noelle then get ready for "Out here All night" and pick it up. If you're not already a fan, well what are you waiting for? Check them out!

Well worth the wait!, May 23, 2006
Man, it's been 3 years since their first album, but it was well worth the looong wait for this poppy rocknroll gem. Their first cd was great, but a tad too clean sounding. The production on this one is soooo much better, like the band is actually playing on a stage in front of you. Way more punch and crunch to the guitars, even bringing back fond memories of old Poison albums, which is another way this album blows away their first. The Weezer type songs have made way for their total love of 80's rock to shine through. And shine it does. In spades, baby! They even cover Iron Maiden's classic song "Wasted Years", albeit acoustically, but to great and beautiful effect! Every other song rocks hard and comes through with total confidence and rocknroll swagger. Noelle's vocals are as always fantastic and the boys pound their instruments like it's 1987 all over again! Don't pass this one up peeps! Rock out now!

The most fun you can have without waking up in a bathtub!, May 30, 2006
What is there to say? These guys are fun crammed into an audio format. Just about every song is brain-damaging, head-banging, pop metal goodness, a blend of the best elements of Poison, Motley Crue (guitarist Mike Woods even LOOKS like a clone of Nikki Sixx), and the more anthemic moments of, perhaps, Judas Priest. There isn't a single song that will take more than 2 or 3 listens to have you singing along at the top of your lungs, unaware you're standing in line at a hospital to get that bump on your head looked at.
Songs worthy of specific mention are "What We Came Here For", which is the best sing-along I've heard in well over a year, the unfairly catchy "Out Here All Night", which refuses to leave your head, the godlike riffs that propel "Out Of My Way", and the emotional, better-than-the-original acoustic cover of "Wasted Years". Not that any of the other songs are poor, but those 4 just blow the roof off.
As is that weren't enough, their live show overshadows even the CD. I caught them a couple days ago at HFStival near Baltimore, and you can tell that these guys (and girl) are having the time of their life. Cheesy poses, big goofy grins, and inspiring speeches to "forget that your mom threw out your porno stash" are all par for the course with Damone. Catch the excitement.
