Love & Rage/Pink Vinyl

Description

The London trio Shooting Daggers takes on a blend of punk hardcore, metalcore and riot with sparkling energy and a frantic pace on their debut full-length album, Love & Rage. Featuring the single "Not My Rival", this is nine tracks tackling male fragility, sisterhood and self-care. For fans of Dinosaur Jr, Lush and Dream Wife. Shooting Daggers has experienced a meteoric rise, becoming a fervent champion of the burgeoning UK hardcore scene. Their live shows have also made them a must-see band. Whether at Desertfest, supporting Amyl & The Sniffers, at numerous underground shows and festivals across the UK and Europe, including Fluff and Burn It Down, or sharing the stage with the cream of the crop of emerging American hardcore, Scowl, Gel, Zulu, Spaced, or even being personally invited to play for the album “Beyond The Red Shift”, organized by Cult Of Luna, Shooting Daggers is undeniably in high demand. They have just recorded their debut album, “Love and Rage”, with Wayne Adams at Bear Bites Horse Studio in London. A grunge intro gives way to choppy riffs and a chorus with earworm harmonies. Then the band presents “A Guilty Conscience Needs An Accuser”, and you wonder: what is this? A 90s-style shoegaze-grunge ballad, as bold as it is unexpected, that does not go unnoticed. Just like the album’s title track, “Love And Rage”, with its blend of Dinosaur Jr. and Lush. Everything fits together perfectly. The final track, “Caves/Outro”, consists solely of vocals and piano. It can only be described as “beautiful” and leaves the listener speechless. Limited vinyl pressing of 500 copies on Ultra Clear and Sky Blue Galaxy Swirl two-tone vinyl. Full-color outer sleeve, with printed full-color inner sleeve, including full download. The CD comes in a 4-page digipack with a 4-page lyric booklet.
