Love & Rage/Pink Vinyl

Description

London trio Shooting Daggers take on a blend of hardcore punk, metalcore, and riot with sparkling energy and a frantic pace on their debut full-length album, Love & Rage. Including the single "Not My Rival," it features nine tracks addressing male fragility, sisterhood, and self-care. For fans of Dinosaur Jr, Lush, and Dream Wife.Shooting Daggers have seen a meteoric rise, becoming fervent champions of the burgeoning British hardcore scene. Their live shows have also made them a must-see band.Whether at Desertfest, supporting Amyl & The Sniffers, at numerous underground gigs and festivals in the UK and Europe, including Fluff and Burn It Down, or sharing stages with the cream 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 are undeniably in high demand. They recently recorded their debut album, "Love and Rage," with Wayne Adams at Bear Bites Horse Studio in London.A grunge intro flows into choppy riffs and a chorus with harmonies that stick in your head. Then the band presents "A Guilty Conscience Needs An Accuser," and you wonder: what is this? A 90s shoegaze-grunge ballad, as bold as it is unexpected, that doesn't go unnoticed. Just like the album's title track, "Love And Rage," with its mix of Dinosaur Jr. and Lush.Everything fits together perfectly. The final track, "Caves/Outro," consists only of vocals and piano. It can only be described as "magnificent" 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 full-color printed inner sleeve, including full download. The CD comes in a 4-panel digipak with a 4-page lyric booklet.
