Bria Damage, fronted by Angelo Bria — proof that surviving the Sunset Strip in the ’80s builds either character… or a bad credit score.
Formerly the voice of Aaronsrod, Angelo helped deliver the 1986 cult metal release Illusions Kill, produced by Rick Keefer at SeaWest Studios for RoadRunner Records, back when hairspray was flammable and guitar solos legally had to last six minutes.
After decades of touring, Angelo relocated to the Pacific Northwest, where he joined
Earth To Ashes as bassist and co-vocalist, being the chief lyricist for the first two releases, Cursed Invoked and their self-titled follow up.
In 2022, BRIA released Target Audience, followed by the 2023 single Stop Quality, Then in 2026, BRIA unleashed Optimus Masochist, the first single from their five-song EP produced by Dead End Bowie. The song blends classic Sunset Strip swagger with enough sarcasm to make the internet uncomfortable.
Channeling the spirit of David Lee Roth after three energy drinks and a midlife crisis, BRIA walks the fine line between ridiculous and brilliant — usually in leather pants.
