SOME REVIEWS + PRESS: RollingStone.com
"Skull-fuckingly loud."
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."
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
"Once upon a time, after I'd get 2 or 3 drinks in me, all you'd have to do is mention Double Dagger and I'd go off on a rant of about just how important, relevant and incredible this band is. My opinion has only greatly increased with the release of Ragged Rubble -- where now I don't need any drinks to go off and one need not even mention the band as a catalyst."
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."

Sick F'in show last night. I think I speak for all of Los Angeles when I say thank you and come back soon. I don't know how to post videos in comments because the internets confuses me but I shot this last night. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqQy5FSAHSc If only I had chosen a song that didn't also have a sweet-ass video. Good luck on the rest of the tour. -Dave
