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 ↴
Fade into the black
Tonight I'm blowing through the red lights
Always thinkin' back
It really doesn't matter
It's all in my mind
I think about it all of the time
You're the one living in the moment
I thought everything was sure
You're the one telling me it's hopeless
Don't know what I'm sorry for
The losers and the runaround guys
Hang out in the street
I'd wait until you said your goodbyes
Just so we could meet
It really doesn't matter
It's all in my mind
I think about it all of the time
You're the one living in the moment
I thought everything was sure
You're the one telling me it's hopeless
Don't know what I'm sorry for
You're the one
I'm caught between "I want" and "what's right"
You're the one living in the moment
I thought everything was sure
You're the one telling me it's hopeless
Don't know what I'm sorry for
You're the one
The lyrics of Damone's song You're The One depict the singer caught between his desire and the reality of the situation. The reference to 'pushin' ten to midnight' and 'fade into the black' could mean that he is always on the edge of something uncertain or unknown, and that he is always on the brink of something life-altering. At the same time, he is aware that he tends to dwell on the past, using the images from his memories to confront his present.
He acknowledges that he often thinks about his mistakes and lost opportunities but is unable to undo them, and it's all in his mind. Thus, in his mind, he convinces himself that it does not matter, and he is the victim of his past. He attributes the possibility of hope in his life to his love interest, who he sees as not dwelling on the past but taking every moment as it comes. He thought he was sure of his life, but she tells him it is hopeless. He, however, does not understand what he is sorry for. The song's message is one of the singer's longing for a life free of regret and all the opportunities to come his way.
Line by Line Meaning
Forever pushin' ten to midnight
Always in a rush and constantly running out of time
Fade into the black
Slipping into a state of darkness and feeling lost
Tonight I'm blowing through the red lights
Acting recklessly and without caution
Always thinkin' back
Constantly dwelling on the past and reliving memories
It really doesn't matter
It's all in my mind
I think about it all of the time
Believing that certain thoughts and memories hold immense importance even though they have no real significance in the present moment
You're the one living in the moment
Acknowledging that the other person is carefree and able to enjoy life without worrying about the past or future
I thought everything was sure
Feeling confident and certain about the future, but eventually realizing that things are uncertain
You're the one telling me it's hopeless
The other person is warning that things may not turn out as hoped and that there's a sense of hopelessness about the situation
Don't know what I'm sorry for
Feeling apologetic but not knowing exactly what one is apologizing for
The losers and the runaround guys
Hang out in the street
I'd wait until you said your goodbyes
Just so we could meet
Recognizing the types of people that one would normally avoid, but willing to wait just to be able to see the other person
You're the one
Reiterating the importance of the other person and their role in one's life
I'm caught between "I want" and "what's right"
Feeling torn between following one's desires and doing what is morally or ethically correct
