Turned Out A Punk

by Turned Out A Punk

Damian Abraham has been many things... the singer of a critically acclaimed band, a failed VJ and food network host, one of the minds behind TV's "The Wrestlers", parent of 3... and undeniably, a punk music obsessive. Each week, he sits down and chats with an interesting person from various walks of life to find out how their world was influenced and changed by the discovery of a novelty genre that supposedly died out in 1978... PUNK!

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

My favorite episodes are when he has a guest that I had no idea had such a punk connection. I love the free-er nature of this podcast. Damien has questions, but let’s the guest go with it. The only staple is “How did you get into punk?” Love this podcast.

CHPSEX · Dec 2024

Damian kills every interview and really lets the absolute legends he interviews talk it out and rant. Best podcast for punkers not that it’s a competition but every episode here is gold! Keep it up!

Bradnew92 · Apr 2024

There’s so many reasons I love this podcast, so I’ll stick to just one. If you need to check out music you’ve never heard or never heard of just pick an episode at random and pick one or many of the bands mentioned in any episode. At worst it’s an interesting journey into unknown realms of Music. At best, you fall in love with a new band, song, genre, scene, or idea and your life is more joyful.

Griffin Kay · Oct 2022

Damian’s genuine enthusiasm and love of all things punk is contagious. Great show!
