Good Damage releases "Better Off Alone"

originally published: 03/15/2025

New Jersey alt-rock/pop-punk band Good Damage released their new single "Better Off Alone" on March 14, 2025. This is the follow-up to their debut single "Forget November."

Good Damage has been building momentum since 2022. Their music blends catchy hooks, lush vocal harmonies, and classic-rock inspired instrumentation, drawing comparisons to Paramore.

Their debut single was praised as "the perfect song" by The Yo Show's Jeff Porini. Both singles were recorded at Sonic Boom Studio in Raritan, New Jersey, run by producer Anthony Krizan.

The band has already shared the stage with southern rock legend and Rock Hall of Fame member Artimus Pyle's band Pyle Tribe and has performed at iconic venues like The Stone Pony, The Delancey (NYC), The Williams Center, and Crossroads. Good Damage kicked off 2025 appearing on The Yo Show podcast in February and performed at The Rock Shack and The House of Independents Showcase in March.

Good Damage is: Darin Dickey - Guitar, Cassie Entin - Bass and Backing Vocals, Cooper Hughes - Drums and Backing Vocals, and Isabella Pombrio - Lead Vocals.
