The Damnwells are an indie rock band originally from the Brooklyn borough of New York City.[1] [2] The band formed in 2000 and has released five full-length albums, Air Stereo (2006, Epic Records/Rounder Records),[2] Bastards of the Beat (2003, Epic Records), One Last Century (2009, self-released), No One Listens to the Band Anymore (2011, PledgeMusic) and The Damnwells (2015, PledgeMusic). The original and current members of the Damnwells are Alex Dezen (lead vocals, guitar, piano), David Chernis (lead guitar), Ted Hudson (bass), and Steven Terry (drums/percussion).
