Following the release of their second album, Use The Daylight, in early 2023, London’s prime proto Next Wave band Dealing With Damage are now steadily on the path to album number three, with their new single, Wrong Sometimes. The first single to be released through their new partnership with Serial Bowl Records, the DIY record label and music collective based in Sunderland, Wrong Sometimes is a garage stomping, Sonics shocking blast of energy. It’s a response to the relentlessly depressing news cycle of the doomscroll era that pairs carefully crafted lyrics which weave a growing sense of unease over the top of an infectious, deceptively simple and joyous rocker of a tune. Disappointment, betrayal, isolation and alienation never sounded so good. Wrong Sometimes is lifted from Dealing With Damage’s forthcoming third album, The London Particular, that is due for release on February 27th via Serial Bowl Records.

“The London Particular is the original name that people gave what came to be known as ‘pea souper’ fogs. This was because of all the particles in the air. So hence The London Particular. It describes a dangerous smog, and it sounds like a newspaper title, so we thought it was a good vehicle for our take on the fog of shit that’s going on in the world at the moment with the added nod to our hometown where the album was written, rehearsed and recorded.” (singer & guitarist Ed Wenn)

Dealing With Damage will be playing a free gig at Aces & Eights in Tufnell Park, North London on Saturday October 25th with support from Dinosaur Skull. Dealing With Damage will also be playing a matinee show at Walthamstow’s Trades Hall & Institute on the 23rd November with The Restarts, Hearing Tests and King Of Pigs and have also been confirmed to play the 2026 Manchester Punk Festival.
