Dealing With Damage are a British four-piece punk/melodic hardcore band from London, England.[1] The band was formed in 2015[1] by singer-songwriter/guitarist Ed Wenn (formerly of The Stupids) and drummer James Sherry (formerly of Done Lying Down). They have received coverage on sites such as Kerrang!, Louder Than War and Vive Le Rock and played with notable bands including Soulside,[2] Moving Targets,[3] the Messthetics, Ruts DC,[4] Janus Stark,[5] Zounds, Inner Terrestrials, Girls Against Boys and Eight Rounds Rapid.[6]
The band’s initial line up was Wenn, Sherry, guitarist Rich Matthews (all ex-K-Line) and bassist Giles Davis.[1] Davis was replaced by Paul Grier[1] (ex-Scum Children) during the recording of first EP Navigating The Middle Ground.[7] The EP was released in 2016 and included a cover of an Iris DeMent song.[8] Second EP Don’t Give Into Fear was produced and mixed by John Hannon (ex-Understand)[1] and released on the Boss Tuneage label in 2017,[9] after which John Ruscoe (ex-Perfect Daze/Sink) replaced Matthews on guitar.[1] The Home Security EP followed in 2020[10] and included a cover of a 13th Floor Elevators song.[11][12][13][14]
Dealing With Damage’s debut album Ask The Questions was released on Little Rocket Records in 2020 - with a joint vinyl release by Rad Girlfriend Records[15] (Dayton, Ohio, USA) and Carabrecol (Gran Canaria, Spain) - to positive reviews[16][17][18][4][19][20][21][22][23] The LP saw contributions from Andy Myers (ex-Jerry Built) who subsequently replaced Ruscoe on guitar.[1]
Dealing With Damage released their second LP Use The Daylight in February 2023, to universally positive reviews; the album included a tribute to John Hannon and a collaboration with 'menopause-core' trio Yootha Today.[24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]
The band have been likened to bands such as Fugazi, Rites of Spring, Soulside,[32] Mission of Burma, Hüsker Dü, Buzzcocks,[18] Down By Law,[9] Toxic Reasons, Dag Nasty[16] and Government Issue[17]
