The brainchild of two edgy graphic designers from Baltimore, Double Dagger is a hardcore punk/art rock trio formed in 2002. Vocalist Nolen Strals and bassist Bruce Willen had previously played together in League of Death and re-formed with drummer Brian Dubin just after the group's final show with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Considering that Willen and Strals worked day jobs in an art firm called Post Typography, it wasn't a big surprise that they decided to name the new group after a typographic symbol. The diesis, or double dagger as its sometimes referred to, utilized a flashy logo (‡), and opened up merchandising opportunities for them to show off their design abilities. The band self-released a few efforts, and after recording their self-titled debut LP, they signed to Thrill Jockey, a surprising label choice, making them the most punky group on the label, before releasing More in 2009. ~ Jason Lymangrover
