Hello Damascus is an indie rock band from Portland, Oregon blending rock, pop, & alt-country into something that’s both familiar and totally original.
Originally formed by Matt Lounsbury (guitar, vocals), Jason Madore (bass, piano) and Jeff Hardison (drums), the band rebooted in 2020 during the depths of the pandemic, adding guitarist and songwriter Alex Williams to the mix.
The result is a new creative chapter and a new record, “Please Let Me Know” — a collection of songs shaped by years of friendship, musical evolution, and human struggles: working through grief, contending with local and environmental collapse, and trading chaos for intention.
Recorded by Cameron Spies (Night Heron, Radiation City) at Trash Treasury, the album features contributions from Night Heron personnel and backing vocals from celebrated Portland musicians Haley Johnsen, Adria Ivan, and Shawna Pair.
Echoing the eclectic approach of 1990s indie rock, where stylistic diversity was celebrated rather than constrained, “Please Let Me Know “ refuses to be boxed in. From catchy synth-pop (“Only Safe Place,” “Vie for Your Memory”) to haunting, western-tinged rock songs ( “Please Let Me Know“, “Delta”), to alt-country (“Long Night”, “Gold Record”) - this album doesn’t just rock, it reaches out a hand if you need it.
