The Damnwells

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Damnwells are an indie rock band from Brooklyn, New York, who are signed to Zoe/Rounder Records. The band formed in 2001 and has released two full length albums. The first, "Bastards of the Beat," was recorded in a storage space and in lead singer and songwriter Alex Dezen's bedroom, and released on Epic Records (Sony/BMG). The Damnwells' second full length album, "Air Stereo," was recorded at Brooklyn Recording studios in Brooklyn, NY for Epic Records, but was released on Zoe/Rounder Records, after the band was let go from their recording contract with Epic in January of 2006. "Air Stereo" was released in stores nationwide on Aug 15, 2006.

The Damnwells have shared the stage with many superstars over the years, such as The Dixie Chicks, Cheap Trick, The Fray and Los Lonely Boys.
