The trio of hardcore balladeers known as Double Dagger have made a big impact as of late not just in their native Baltimore, but all over (including, yes, the blogosphere) after the May release of More.

The band formed in 2002 and have been cranking out the jams ever since. Succinctly put, More is a big step forward for the band, and their live show alone should be worth your curiosity.

Performing with Double Dagger are three local bands: When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth, Markov, and Woodgrain. Dinosaurs have a few other shows lined up for June and July, but in August they're taking it to the road, mostly playing shows along the west coast. Markov have been amassing some pretty good shows lately, including a recent opening slot with Brutal Juice. Woodgrain, on our own Australian Cattle God records, amass a big synthesizer-assisted noise.
