Damone released their debut album "From The Attic" in 2003 on RCA, but due to poor sales the label stopped showing interest in the band. Co-founder and guitarist Dave Pino (also a member of the band Waltham and late of Powerman 5000) quit the band sometime in 2004, being replaced by Boston native Mike Woods. While working on new material, the band was dropped from their label after requesting to be released. They were quickly picked up by Island Records.
Damone released their sophmore LP "Out Here All Night" on iTunes in early 2006, with the CD version released May 23rd, 2006. Damone released their newest album Roll The Dice in December 2008.
The band disbanded sometime in 2009. On December 9, 2011, the band's drummer Dustin Hengst passed away of liver problems.
"Out Here all Night" was a single on the Madden video game series. The band was originally named Noelle, after LeBlanc. Damone is a reference to a character of the same name in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

Damone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Made don't want to be apart.
I would cry to see you go woah-woh,
'Cause you are who's inside my heart.
I can be the one who goes,
I am strong in this you know woah-woh
I don't want to be alone,
So meet me if you care, I'll be at the spot,
Maybe see you there or not.
So meet me if you care, I'll be at the spot,
Maybe see you there or not.
If you care about me 'cause I know I care for you,
And I want you there, I'll leave it up to you.
Here inside it's hard to see who holds,
See if I am what you want.
I'll be here with sticks and stuff,
I'll be here to let you know.
So meet me if you care, I'll be at the spot,
Maybe see you there or not.
So meet me if you care, I'll be at the spot,
Maybe see you there or not.
If you care about me 'cause I know I care for you,
And I want you there, I'll leave it up to you.
So meet me if you care, I'll be at the spot,
Maybe see you there or not.
So meet me if you care, I'll be at the spot,
Maybe see you there or not.
If you care about me 'cause I know I care for you,
And I want you there, I'll leave it up to you.
