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!
