"Many of you didn't really care for the EP from Belgium's Daggers we decided to
stream in full last December. Bummer. I think it's pretty decent.
I can sort of hear why someone might think Daggers are "run of the mill pseudo
crusty hardcore," but this sounds more in line with the driving, frill-free
hardcore of the Hope Conspiracy to me, only a little rougher in production (but
nothing extraordinarily ragged or messy). It's particularly in "Sharks and
Hearts" where this is evident, as Daggers take a mid-tempo approach and drive it
into the ground hollering weird lines like "How do you dare to speak when I just
turned my world on mute." As English might not be their first language, it can
be forgiven.
The "pseudo-crustiness" does howl about a little more on something like "Fucking
Empty," the screams coming more desperate and filling the sphere more. But it
just doesn't seem entirely indicative of the EP.
Daggers is a decent listen. A familiar one, but a fair one."
