Double Dagger, one of Baltimore's hardest hitting bands, is getting ready to embark on their inaugural tour in support of their brand new album "More" which came out on May 5th on Thrill Jockey Records. Their eclectic mix of art-punk DIY aestheticism, hardcore political and social commentary and straight up pop hooks come together to create a live tour de force. They use only drums, bass guitar and vocals to pummel their audience with an impressive wall of sound. They're loud and playfully aggressive but always grounded in a pop sensibility. See below for tour dates, a free MP3 and a video of their CD release show in Baltimore a few weeks ago featuring the track "No Allies":
