Dare 02:01
Yeah! Do it! Do it! Take your bloody chance, Do it yourself! Go! Don't wait for something better, Make it come true, Don't wait for it. Use you hands, Use your head, Do it yourself! Dare to take a chance, Dare to break your walls, Dare to feel alive, Dare. Dare to look in the mirror, You're too scared to move. You stand in the middle, You're stuck in a rut. Perfect is the enemy of good. But now I feel I'd better fail than lose. Wait for permission? Wait for an invite? Wait for tomorrow? Wait until you die? Take your bloody chance, Do it yourself!

We watch ourselves being looked at, A man inside rules how we act. You're not my rival, Get out the spiral. Together girl, We Break the cycle Identity, A long hard struggle, That tears us apart, in a choke hold We’re the new generation that shake things up No more romance, We want revenge. Yeah, yeah, yeah Break the cycle Can’t tear us apart We’re the new generation that shake things up. No more romance, We want revenge. Break the cycle Wreck it down Shake things up Girls, they can’t tear us apart Give violence a chance

Smug 03:08
Vultures and hyenas, Licking boots and kissing arses. Make their way up to the top, And look down on the rest of us all. Blind spots, on their radar Luck makes them no better than me Cus I believe that merit’s not real, You do? Well, better think it twice Wipe that smug look off your face Wipe that smug look. Have just a try, Toss up, And throw the dice Be wary of pride. Winners, better think it twice Vultures and hyenas, Licking boots and kissing arses, Make their way up to the top And forgot where they came from Wipe that smug look off your face Wipe that smug look. Have just a try, Toss up And throw the Dice Eyes on the price Losers, better watch your backs Forgot the scene you came from? You forgot the scene you came from?

Wipe Out 01:30
Keep on rolling, tonight I gotta get out Yeah! Pushing, pushing away from the grind Yeah! Gotta meet my girlies in town, are you down? Yeah! Concrete floor and Blossomed trees, We go downhill in London streets Wipe! Out! Wipe out! Out of sight, out of mind Release the pressure, erase the bad vibes Switch your Focus, get on your board. They can't provoke us, we're untouchable. Out of sight, out of mind, They can't provoke us, we're untouchable. Wipe! Out! Wipe Out!
5.
Damaged, Hush and live with guilt forever whilst I fall apart. Cus I'll live with the pain you gave me Forever, shut down. Shut down Shut down Damaged, Forever, Shut down/Fall apart
6.
Tunnel vision I see the light I can’t wait And it’s all I’ve got on my mind Big dreams, big energy Swarling inside of me I’m not down to earth I want to be the girl with the most cake It’s stronger than me, I can’t beat it Big energy carries me on I see it I crave it I feel it (I want it) Now, I know who I am, I’m in my lane Lemme shine. Now, now, now, now, now, now Start to see the spotlight from afar Tunnel vision, I see the light, I can’t wait, And it’s all I’ve got on my mind. It’s stronger than me, I can’t beat it Big energy carries me on. I see it I crave it I want it

Bad Seeds 01:23
They say Be quiet, polite But I’m ugly, I'm mad Chaotic Sweat and spit, we're gonna make it right Show them with a big smile Red nails, spiked bats No more cute revolution, No more, hear us out Disorder, no discussion We take control and step on you Speak out Get angry Get loud We’re bad seeds We’re mad Chaotic Sweat and spit, we're gonna make it right Show them with a big smile Res nails, spiked bats No more cute revolution, No more, hear us out Disorder, no discussion We take control, we're coming for you!

Love & Rage 03:00
Violent words and feelings all sucked up inside, Building up over and over and over again Turn the pain into power Arouse your anger Over and over Love & Rage Violent thoughts and feelings all sucked up inside, Building up over and over and over again Turn the pain into power, Arouse your anger, Over and over. Love & Rage
9.
Caves/Outro 02:02
Venom spitting, Heaven is no place on earth What feels like sabotage, Got me running out of time, It’s a burden of mine, I can’t unsee the cracks Caves have filters that won’t let it through I’m running in circles, they must embrace the truth Must see the sun Ready or not. Must see the sun to finally break free/allow changes. Love & Rage

about

‘Love and Rage’ is a huge leap forward from Shooting Daggers' EP 'Athames', in fact we believe Daggers have recorded something of a potential classic debut.
Nine storming numbers, the are kick ass buzzsaw punk bangers of course, blistering shards of pent up fury, like ‘Dare’ and ‘Not My Rival’ ‘Wipeout’ and ‘Bad Seeds’. 
Daggers ‘as you might expect, but here, more catchy, more direct, more focussed than before. 
However, things start to get even more interesting with songs like ‘Smug’ ‘Tunnel Vision’ 'A Guilty Conscience...' and the title track. A big hint that this is no ordinary punk rock record.
Add in a 90's vibe, dreampop, shoegaze, post punk, a keen sense of hook and melody that will earworm these songs into your brain. And you have an album that is as sick as it is beautiful. Sheer class from start to finish.
With 'Love & Rage' Shooting Daggers might well become your new favourite band.
