This is the first album that the band has released under the abbreviated name "Blues Explosion" rather than their previous name, "The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion".

The Blues Explosion is kind of a punk rock band.

"[4] The album featured vocals from Martina Topley-Bird and Chuck D. Steve Jordan, Jay Braun, Dan the Automator, David Holmes and DJ Shadow were the producers of the album.

The UK vinyl and CD/DVD as well as the US enhanced CD releases of Damage were in a matchbook-style design.

The Enhanced section contains a 22-minute film directed by Niko Tavernese (Exclusive studio footage of the band with various producers recording Damage).
