MORE. New full length album out now on Thrill Jockey Records.

SOME REVIEWS + PRESS:

L.A. Record
"Double Dagger distill everything I love about '90s post-grunge underground music into a new style that feels totally fresh and progressive. And that's what underground music is all about: taking the wreckage we've been left with by previous generations and making something revolutionary--and beautiful--from the debris." -- Sean Carnage

Rolling Stone
"Skull-fuckingly loud."

Aural States
"One of the most vital bands to ever emerge from Baltimore."

Remember Your Future -- MORE Review
"It became something of an addiction, this record. I couldn't put it down. It would end and I'd flip it back over and play it again... I must have listened to this record a hundred times, at least... And damn if it isn't as exciting now as it was the first time."

The Stranger
"[Double Dagger are] Rhodes Scholar athletes of caustic sound, summoning anthemic energy with dependable white-guy moxie. You will probably mosh to this, but thoughtfully and at acute angles."

The 405
"All I can say is I want to kiss the lead singer on his beautiful, bald head for giving me music I can be proud to tell my friends about... Give Double Dagger a chance, they will be on your top albums of 2009. And see them live when they tour for More, but wear clothes you don’t mind getting 100s of people’s sweat on. Rating: 9/10"

All Music Guide
"Bringing back the spirit of the underground punk movement of the '80s, specifically that of Dischord bands like Minor Threat and Fugazi, Double Dagger's, More, is precisely that. It's more provocative, more realized, and more powerful than any of their prior releases... This is punk rock in the purist form. Filled with social commentary and smart, art-house literary references, picking a favorite on this album could prove itself a difficult feat."

BBC Music
"More exposes Double Dagger's softer side – and it's immensely likable. [The album] is guaranteed to stay deep within the ears and hearts of those it does reach."

The Washington Post
"One of the toughest things about being an amazing live band is transferring the in-person experience to CD. And there aren't many better live bands than Baltimore trio Double Dagger... There's simply no way to recreate that infectious live energy, but the aptly-titled Ragged Rubble comes pretty close... This is the kind of record that probably won't make it onto the radar of too many people, but will leave a lasting impression on those who take the time to listen."

Rock Sound Magazine
"Double Dagger's debut album for Thrill Jockey is a veritable riot fit to introduce their elastic east coast indie-rock to the wider world. By turns crushingly discordant and deceptively melodic beneath Nolen Strals' twisted intonations, "More" is exactly what you'll be left wanting. Rating 8/10"

Baltimore City Paper
"Double Dagger has always worn its heart on its sleeve, but by embracing just how such a forthright stance exposes you, the band has matured into an even more defiant, pertinent, and essential force... MORE is a phenomenal leap forward."

Pasta Primavera
"Baltimore’s Double Dagger is a ball of fire that freezes your hand, a warm embrace that punches you in the gut, an explosive puppy."

Aural States
"You’ll wonder why the hell these other bands need more members and instruments to even attempt to approach the intensity, size and diversity of Double Dagger’s sound."

Anti-Gravity Bunny: Haiku Review
"/daggers are awesome/
/double daggers, twice awesome/
/i want more daggers/"

The Mobtown Shank
"Baltimore's most important band."

The Washington Post
"[Ragged Rubble is the] 2007 album that made me feel most alive, this is stripped-down but plenty-loud post-punk with a message, not too far off from Fugazi. (Ian MacKaye watched approvingly at their August D.C. show.)"

Baltimore City Paper
"Double Dagger has always provided dark, frenetic, politically charged punk rock for people who enjoy using their brains."

Punk Planet
"Po-mo as a motherfucker."

Village Voice
"I'm not sure I know what the point is, and I don't care. [This] shit gets on my nerves."
