From 1998 - 2006 DAMN 13 was a Toronto punk band that fused the intensity of early hardcore (Black Flag) to swinging rock / metal hooks and massive riffs (Black Sabbath) and fueled it with the speed of 90's Swedish punk n' roll (The Hellacopters). DAMN 13 were loud, downtuned, blues filled, intense and unlike any other band in Canada at the time.
As of now, the band members are currently involved with other bands and projects including: AUTOMATIC DUB R!OT, C'MON, MONSTER VOODOO MACHINE and DANKO JONES.
The band released 2 CD / EPs "The Dynamite Gospel" (Sweet Tooth Recordings, 1999) and "RIOT ROCK 666" (Promo only, limited to 1000 copies). They released 1 full length album "Black Heart Northern Soul" (Distort - Canada only, 2005).
The band members all remain very close friends, and the future may be very loud for everyone...
"DAMN 13's first full-length album, Black Heart Northern Soul, encompasses Sewell's life stories and musical influences into a tornado of bombastic rock riffs and grisly themes. Songs like "Goodbye Misery" and "Rocket Fuel" are imbued with the spirit of old-school punk rock, heavy blues and country/western attitude that can only come from true experience on the fringe of society. At the same time, the album is a celebration..."
