Damage (punk zine)

Two of the issues were 28- and 32-page free guides to the Western Front music and art festival in San Francisco for 1979 and 1980.

[1] Damage covered the punk scene in Northern and Southern California, as well as international developments.

[3] Reporting on the local scene in the San Francisco Examiner, Bill Mandel said that Damage was "the punk Bible" [for the Bay Area, presumably].

[4] Archivist Ryan Richardson called it “a definite contender in a state crowded with fanzine heavyweights.”[5] Nicholas Rombes used Damage as a source for nine entries in his A Cultural Dictionary of Punk.

[6] Writer Stevie Chick included a lengthy quote from a Damage article by Jeffrey Bale to describe Black Flag's increasing popularity in his book about the band.
