SHOOTING DAGGERS SHARE NEW SINGLE/VIDEO FOR ‘GLOW’ FEATURING REFUSED’S DENNIS LYXZÉN
SHOOTING DAGGERS SHARE NEW SINGLE/VIDEO FOR ‘GLOW’ FEATURING REFUSED’S DENNIS LYXZÉNNEW MINI-ALBUM ’THE REAL LIFE THING’ RELEASED 5TH JUNE (NEW HEAVY SOUNDS)Shooting Daggers are a band that never seems to stop. Sal, Bea and Raquel are one of the hardest working outfits out there, constantly playing shows and lending their support to myriad causes all around the U.K. and Europe.So, it’s always an exciting prospect when the band takes some time out from the maelstrom to write and record new material.And two years on from the release of their acclaimed debut album ‘Love & Rage’ the band have been in Bear Bites Horse Studio with Wayne Adams (Big Lad, Green Lung) at the controls to come up with the goods once again.‘The Real Life Thing’ is the latest hardcore sonic missive from one of London’s must-see bands, and it absolutely does not disappoint. Shooting Daggers are the real deal; the best, and most exciting and adventurous hardcore-inspired band in the country.A ‘mini album‘. 7 songs and 20 minutes of driving rocket fuelled punk meets melody picking up from their debut to go further into their own space.A selection of songs that are marked by a fierce energy, variety and cool musical nous, but always with a message firmly at its core. The band says …“It’s a crucial time to focus on what really matters. Be present, be aware of real things happening in the world, with integrity and love we can make a difference as a community. There is hope out there, and if we all start treating nature, people and animals with respect and empathy we will be able to become better humans and coexist.In this mini album, we express the full range of our emotions through various sounds and genres. From cheerfulness to anger and hopefulness. From hardcore punk, to shoegaze, to post hardcore and riot grrrl.We embrace our authentic self, with sensitivity in response to injustice, we act out, and all the while savouring every moment, being unapologetically yourself, empowering ourselves and each other”With the help of some very special guests in the form of ‘The Menstrual Cramps’ and Dennis Lyxzén from Refused, that message is driven home ‘big time’.New single ‘Glow’ is the second collaboration; this one featuring Dennis Lyxzén from Refused on dual vocal duties. A no brainer it seems …The band comment,“This track is about denouncing gender roles and respecting gender identity. Self-liberation, embracing femininity and fighting internal misogyny. Feminine isn’t weak, and masculine doesn’t have to be stereotypically strong.It doesn’t matter if you want to express strength in a more masculine or feminine way, anything is valid as long as you feel powerful from within. When we wrote this song we knew who we wanted to have a feature on it and we were just back from opening two shows for punk legends Refused and all of us were mesmerised by Dennis Lyxzén’s stage presence.Refused has been a band that never wanted to fit in in a specific sound, they are pioneers of experimental punk while still being rooted in hardcore. They believe in what we believe in, antifascism, veganism, social justice and Dennis on stage is anything but a generic hardcore singer. He jumps, he twirls, he dances, he dresses fancy and we knew from minute one he was the one. Of course, we had no certainty he would’ve said yes but we had to try. He accepted straight away and has been super supportive and collaborative of the coming of GLOW. We couldn’t be more grateful.”Dennis himself adds,“We brought Shooting Daggers with us for a couple of shows last year on the final Refused tour. They were great of course. Radical and fun and they just seemed like great people. When they asked me if I wanted to sing on a track for their new album I did not hesitate for one second. It was a complete honor to be a part of this album and I am very much looking forward to seeing what Shooting Daggers does next. ”The video for ‘Glow’ was filmed in a local gym in Deptford called “Comando Temple” who kindly provided the band with the space. The amazing Pride in Strength group allowed the band to film them during one of their workshops and four wrestlers from the queer wrestling company Fist Club also took time to come over and film some awesome scenes and even taught the band to wrestle.

They never stand still and continue to push the boundaries of what is ‘hardcore’ or ‘punk’ or whatever people think they are.T.R.L.T. is a delight and a surprise from start to finish, refreshing, abrasive, melodic and with a true beating heart.Embrace it.The Real Life Thing will be released by New Heavy Sounds on limited edition shiny black vinyl and digital on June 5th.Pre-order:Upcoming shows:AprilFriday 3rd Brigthon w/Nothing works & tomar control (The Pipeline)Saturday 4th London w/Nothing Works & Tomar control (The Blue Monk)MayMay 4th Punks For Palestine 2026 (New Cross Inn)Follow online: https://linktr.ee/shootingdaggers -

Whilst ‘human props‘ was released earlier this year, ‘Nostalgia Kills’ has been freshly unleashed. A caustic, catchy and calloused piece of post-hardcore majesty, it also serves as a collaboration with the legendary Underoath, with Spencer Chamberlain and Aaron Gillespie channelling the intense energy that defined their 2006 classic ‘Define The Great Line’ once more. Both a mission statement and a celebration of this scene and the great emotional power that resides within it.The post Static Dress Announce New Album ‘injury episode’ appeared first on Rock Sound.
