Double Dagger - Mask

“Wild and sweaty and blown out and fun as f*ck” – Aquarius Records.

Baltimore trio Double Dagger’s songs are meant to be experienced, rather
than just listened to - either at one of their intense performances or with the
volume turned up loud enough to feel it in your gut. Their performances
have highlighted their hometown Baltimore Whartscape Festivals, upstaged
the likes of The Jesus Lizard and Melt Banana, and left smouldering
rubble around the US and in Europe on tours with Dan Deacon, Parts &
Labor and The Deathset. 2009’s ‘More’ album captured that intensity on
what their local City Paper called the year’s best local album.

Music reviewers have compared Double Dagger to (in alphabetical order) At
The Drive In, Big Black, Cop Shoot Cop, Dead Kennedys, The Fall,
Fucked Up, Happy Mondays, Henry Rollins, The Hold Steady, Led
Zeppelin, Les Savy Fav, New Order, Nirvana, No Age, Rites Of
Spring, Shellac, Steve Reich, Unwound, The White Stripes and The
Yeah Yeah Yeahs, among others. While this description is generally apt,
Double Dagger continues to push the boundaries of what some critics have
dubbed agit punk, art rock, DIY, future shock, hardcore, metallic funk,
minimalist punk, post-grunge, post-hardcore, post-pop, postpunk, post-punk,
post-rock, or underground music.

The ‘Masks’ package is designed by the band’s design studio Post
Typography.

The LP and CD are each available in three different covers, all with custom
die-cut jackets printed as different mask drawings with ‘eyes’ that change
colour depending on the orientation of the CD or LP sleeve - the LP version
comes in three different LP jackets, all custom die-cut and each
limited to 500 copies.

Included is a free MP3 download coupon; the CD version comes in
three different mini LP style packages, all custom die cut and each
limited to 675 copies.
