Warball & Hello Damascus

Warball is a rock band from Portland, Oregon, featuring Jack Green, John Terry, Colin McHugh, Todd Ouska, Geoff Cecil, and Eli Rushbanks. Their sound stretches and bends — built on improvisation, catchy melodies, and a long-evolved chemistry that gives each performance a life of its own.

After years of crossing paths in different projects, the members came together in 2017 as Warball, born from late-night jams and kickbacks. Their sound blurs the line between structure and exploration. The result is a sound that drifts from heavy grooves to hypnotic melodies, always grounded in feel, connection, and the moment.
