:: double dagger ::
[via Tim Castlen]
“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.” -All Music Guide

[via thepiratehat]
“The band plays the kind of spastic electro music that Baltimore has become known for, but do so in a totally sincere, hook-friendly, New Order-on-the-pipe kind of way. They rock fat bass lines and lush keyboards while the cymbal-heavy drums keep the party rolling, as singer Sam Herring steals the show.” -The Portland Mercury

“It takes no stretch of the imagination to picture SMARTS as a bare-bones hardcore band, to such a degree that all you’re getting is the ideology, and a subset of the equipment required. Really, you might want to take the word “hard” out of the equation entirely. “Core.” That’s what these guys are, the tiny ball of superheated iron that belongs at the foundation of every music group.” -Aural States
