This is a masterclass in alternative rock balladry, anchored by O’Mahony’s phenomenal vocals.
His voice carries a smoky rasp that adds a layer of gravitas to the track, perfectly amplifying the emotional weight of the lyrics.
The song’s DNA reveals clear influences, with shades of Oasis and a touch of Joe Cocker’s bluesy soul. However, O’Mahony & The Hot Touches manage to blend these inspirations into a sound that feels fresh and modern.
The bluesy nuances simmer throughout the track, building tension that explodes during the guitar solos. The solos are atmospheric and technically masterfully performed, I greatly enjoyed them.
The underlying chord progression is solid and serves as the backbone for the song’s infectious melody.
It’s the melody that burrows itself into your head, refuses to leave, and shows the band’s songwriting talent.
“Damage” is a confident debut that hints at seasoned musicians behind the wheel. With a tight sound and a knack for crafting memorable melodies, Colm O’Mahony & The Hot Touches are a band to keep an eye on.

Colm O’Mahony & The Hot Touches are a rock ‘n’ roll band from Killarney, Co., Kerry, Ireland
Sometime in-between bouts of getting roughed-up by his older brothers for sneaking into their rooms and playing their records, singer-songwriter Colm O’Mahony saw Queen’s historic performance at Live Aid in July of 1985. At the ripe old age of 4. You could say his fate was sealed on the spot.
“I can’t remember the 1986 World Cup,” says Mahony, “but I can remember Live Aid. I remember it was a hot day, and the way my brothers were just talking about it and talking about it. And, of course, I remember Freddie Mercury.”
