DAMNAGE 'Wild In The Streets' - Punk Nostalgia Gets a Shot of Adrenaline

DAMNAGE’s take on “Wild In The Streets” doesn’t just nod to punk history — it throws a Molotov cocktail at it and dances in the flames. Featuring Greg Hetson of Circle Jerks, the band brings new heat to a track that’s already burned its way into punk legend. The guitars snarl, the drums hit like a riot, and the whole thing sounds like it was recorded in a speeding van — which, honestly, might be true.


What makes this version pop is the chemistry. You can feel that this wasn’t pieced together over months — it’s a lightning-in-a-bottle moment caught on tape. Tim Stewart’s vocals punch through like a megaphone in a mosh pit, while Hetson’s guitar shreds with that unmistakable “I’ve done this before… in a much scarier venue” vibe.


Bottom line: this isn’t a cover — it’s a takeover. DAMNAGE don’t just honour the track; they rewire it. If you’ve ever wished punk could feel dangerous again, this is your anthem.
