Shooting Daggers release new song ‘Manic Pixie Dream Girl’

SHOOTING DAGGERS have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Manic Pixie Dream Girl, is the brand new single from the self-described feminist punk/queercore outfit and marks their first release for New Heavy Sounds. The bonus song, Missandra, is also available through purchase of the single via the band’s bandcamp.

Speaking about the new song, vocalist/guitarist Sal says, Manic Pixie Dream Girl is about the movie trope from the same name. It’s a stock character that has no discernible inner life. It’s usually a cis woman that only exists to make the main character (usually a cis man) look good and to provide the protagonist important life lessons. The MPDG trope also occurs in real life, at least in my experience. I personally felt like a MPDG in my romantic relationships and the lyrics are the words of a manic pixie dream girl if she could actually be heard. Claiming that she is someone and stating how bad it feels to be nothing else but someone’s sexy stooge.”
