Damaged & Co. press release

Damaged&Co are back

After a brief hiatus from live performances in mid-to-late 2025, Damaged & Co. return in 2026 with a brand-new setlist built around fresh material as we delve deeper into concepts of the Self.

The band enters this new chapter with an expanded line-up:

Daniel Sammut – Guitars

Peter Paul Valletta – Vocals

Gwen Zammit – Drums

Warren Vella – Bass

Franny Schembri – Keys

Warren and Franny— replacing Alex and Keith, who stepped away for personal reasons — join the established members Daniel on guitar, Gwen on drums, and Peter on vocals and bringing in new flavours to the already established sound that marks the identity of the band.

Despite the challenges of being based on the small island of Malta — with its limited population and even smaller metal scene — Damaged & Co. remain determined to get back onstage and deliver their signature Alternative Metal sound.

The band now looks forward to building on their national and international experience, having performed twice in Italy (SbamFest 3 and Rock in Park 2022) and once in Israel ( we all know where that lead). Locally, they have opened for Lordi at the Aria Complex and performed twice at Dark Malta Festival, sharing the bill with acts such as Deathstars, Combichrist, and Diary of Dreams.
