Death Pill and Shooting Daggers announce split 7″ single
DEATH PILL and SHOOTING DAGGERS have announced split EP!
The joint single from the two hardcore punk bands, sees a collaboration organised by their label New Heavy Sounds, and is scheduled to be released later this month. The single comes on the back of the Ukrainian band’s debut self-titled album, which was released back in February, whilst for SHOOTING DAGGERS, it marks their first new music since last year’s Athames EP.
Alongside the announcement of the split single, DEATH PILL have released their song; Monsters. Speaking about the song, the band says, “this track is about how our parents knowingly or unknowingly lose their children. As an example – here are the most painful things you could hear from your folks: ‘When will you finish your music games?’ ‘You will never achieve anything!’
‘When are you finally going to do something useful?’ Therefore, when there was an opportunity to record a one live song in London, the choice of a song became obvious. Just imagine the ‘surprise’ on the faces of our mums… Many thanks for Ged and Paul from the NHS label for supporting this idea, and to Wayne from Bear Bites Horse for the sick and fat sound.”
SHOOTING DAGGERS says about their song Not My Rival, “Not My Rival is a song about dismantling the male gaze, fighting against the internalised patriarchal messages that we all unconsciously absorb. It’s about breaking the cycle of female rivalry. We want to encourage lifting each other up instead of tearing each other down.”
