I was very excited to see the new Sophisticated Urban Living 7 inch in my mailbox a few days ago from one of Baltimore's finest trios Double Dagger . Just released this month through Terra Firma Records, the single features a scorching re-recorded version of "Luxury Condos for the Poor" along with two new songs. For those that missed out on their excellent second album Ragged Rubble that was put out last year through Stationary (Heart), I highly suggest checking it [...]

(Monotonix, When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth, Double Dagger, and Power Douglas [members of TV On The Radio and Dragons Of Zynth] at Death By Audio this past weekend) The Monotonix show was pretty fun. I was really curious to see what the TV On The Radio/Dragons Of Zynth collaboration, Power Douglas, would be like. It was kind of noisy, jangly, but more than anything it seemed to be a cathartic exercise for the two members of the aforementioned bands. About midway through their set David Andrew Sitek grabbed a mic and ranted about the miscarriage of justice (or [...]

Did you listen to "Andrew WK on Fair Game" (box.net mp3) when I posted about it... here ? If not, you missed some best the 50 some odd seconds of "over-the-top rockulism" this year. Listen: "The McLaughlin Group" (box.net mp3) This is the lyrical core of the song: If it happens Pat May he rest in piece Death comes in the night On little cat's feet The next man on the moon will be Chinese Listen to the whole Fair Game [...]
Many, many options this weekend in the area to catch your favorite music. Every night has something definitely worthwhile, all over the region. Friday Imperial China is having a CD release party and they want you there! They are with Double Dagger , Zulu Pearls , and the Black & White Jacksons . Catch them at the Rock and Roll Hotel in DC. One of my picks for Best of Philly '07 (and in serious contention for it this year [...]
Need I remind you of the awesomeness of Hot Snakes ? If the answer is yes, watch this: "Braintrust" (ughh.. wmv). Now we've already heard John Reis' new band The Night Marchers . Listen (if you haven't already): "Who's Lady R U?" (AOL mp3) So what is Rick Froberg up to? He got the Obits . These recordings may be rough, plus one appears to be cut out a little too soon, but these make me pretty excited for an album recorded in a studio [...]
Like a forgotten petri dish buried deep within Umbrella Corporation labs, the lyrics from Bmore's nastiest punk trio are mutating, evolving even, from obscure typography/art jokes to powerful action rallies against the city's socio-economic inequalities. New song "No Allies" - available soon via one of two 7" to be released this spring - opens with a solitary distress signal from bassist Bruce Willen; answer it and get yanked into a sweaty pile of warehouse kids thrashing to "no allies - we don't need you on our side." [...]
From the double D crew: "We're taking a break from shows for a couple of months to work on some new shit. But we've got some awesome stuff upcoming in oh eight, oh yes. In the meantime, treat yourself to a Christmastime present and download the entire Materials CD for free...no lie! It's Bruce and Nolen from DD plus Kim of Baltimore's awesome-est Kim++ and Human Host ( www.myspace.com/kimplusplus). It'll be good, we promise. Materials - Plastic Double Dagger - Rearranging The Digital Deck Chairs (live on WFMU) [...]

They use drums, bass, and vocals (yes, much like C.O.C.O. , but in a different way). Listen: "The Psychic" (mp3) "Luxury Condos For The Poor" (mp3) Myspace page is here . More mp3s are here . Stationary Heart page is here . Emusic page is here . [...]
Don't be turned away by the thrash, Baltimore's Double Dagger are loud because there's something to be said and no one's listening. Actually lots of people are listening to the music - they were the most anticipated act at this weekend's Hampden Fest (above). But with new full-length Ragged Rubble released this summer, the band maintains its self-proclaimed designcore sound while becoming astute political voices against Baltimore's overzealous waterfront gentrification. A classic example of Baltimore's DIY artistic spirit, Double Dagger have built a bubbling underground buzz fueled by stageless basement performances, limited [...]

Baltimore is known for its all-inclusive bootstrap DIY indie spirit - and with the number of startup artists, labels and legit/underground venues climbing faster than the city's body count (200+ this year, watch your back Detroit), we had plenty of gems to choose from for the first part of this series. 1. Among Wolves - Sleep and Dream 2. OCDJ - Trip Trip 3. Small Sur - Big Sur 4. Thrushes - Aidan Quinn 5. Brian Adam Ant - Holy Hell 6. [...]
