{"product_id":"love-and-rage","title":"Love and Rage","description":"\u003cp\u003eSal, Bea, and Raquel aka Shooting Daggers, are without a doubt burning it up at the moment. Since releasing their EP \u003cem\u003e‘Athames’\u003c\/em\u003e last year the whispers are getting louder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince then, things have been pretty much upwards, non-stop, and Daggers are fast becoming a fiery beacon at the beating heart of the burgeoning UK hardcore scene. Plus, their full-on live shows have made them a must-see proposition. Whether it’s Desertfest, supporting Amyl \u0026amp; The Sniffers, a plethora of underground gigs and festivals across the UK and Europe including Fluff and Burn It Down. Or sharing the stage with the cream of up-and-coming American hardcore, Scowl, Gel, Zulu, Spaced, and being personally asked to play the ‘\u003cem\u003eCult Of Luna\u003c\/em\u003e’ curated ‘Beyond The Red Shift’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere’s no doubt that Shooting Daggers are most certainly in demand. It’s a wonder they have the time to do anything else. Thankfully, they had a week spare to go in with Wayne Adams at Bear Bites Horse Studio in London to record their debut album. Titled \u003cem\u003e‘Love and Rage’\u003c\/em\u003e it’s a huge leap forward from their EP, in fact we believe Daggers have recorded something of a corker in terms of modern hardcore in fact … a potential minor classic debut maybe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClassic you say? As in '\u003cem\u003eThe Ramones\u003c\/em\u003e' or '\u003cem\u003eDamned Damned Damned\u003c\/em\u003e', as in '\u003cem\u003eLos Angeles\u003c\/em\u003e' or '\u003cem\u003eBad Brains\u003c\/em\u003e', as in '\u003cem\u003eRepeater\u003c\/em\u003e' or '\u003cem\u003ePussy Whipped\u003c\/em\u003e', or as in (because they wouldn't forgive us if we left them out) '\u003cem\u003eNon-stop Feeling\u003c\/em\u003e', by the genre-deviating, mainstream breakers Turnstile. And yeah, we've noticed how male that list is!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhatever way you spin it, there is no doubt that \u003cem\u003e‘Love and Rage'\u003c\/em\u003e is an album of jaw-dropping depth and melody as well as blinding energy and angst. The band says … We want to spread a positive message, we are challenging rage into a good force, seeking for justice and unity. Anger serves us as a bodyguard for our personal pain and suffering. But when you recognise rage within you, if you handle it with attention, love, and compassion, it can be a powerful mobilizing factor to take action in solidarity and commitment to enacting social change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a time to focus on ourselves and our community. Protect our rights to be in this world and stop caring about men's validations. It's time for women and queer people to channel all our power together. In this album we touch subjects such as Unity, sorority, self-love, taking the power back, queer love and skateboarding.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Heavy Sounds","offers":[{"title":"LP - Blue","offer_id":50530352988491,"sku":"2175183","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50530353676619,"sku":"2175187","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP - Pink","offer_id":53040802660683,"sku":"R2721-0171","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Shooting_Daggers_-_Love__Rage_6d8c909d_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728077142","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/love-and-rage","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
