Shooting Daggers release new music video for ‘Wipe Out’
SHOOTING DAGGERS have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track Wipe Out, is taken from the London-based feminist/queercore band’s debut album, Love And Rage, which was released in February.
Speaking about the new music video, Sal from the band says, “we wanted to show how fun, powerful and epic skating is. Even if it means eating shit and ‘wipe out’ more than actually staying on the board. With this video we wanted to show the collective sense of freedom and highlight queer skate communities from everywhere, that’s why we gathered footage online from all over the world and put it together.
I got into skateboarding during the whole ‘Skate Kitchen’ (all girl skateboarding film), ‘glue skateboarding’ and ‘there’ (queer punk skate crews) era. It influenced a lot of people in the UK back in 2018. There were girl skate sessions for free at House of Vans, bay66 and hopkingdom every month in London. It felt like all the girls started skateboarding around 2018, skateboarding was huge back then (all ages and all genders too). I remember seeing Beatrice Domond skating at HOV and she blew my mind.
We were all learning beginners tricks together, lifting each other up and evolving together at our own pace. Many queer skateboarding collectives emerged and are still running like queerskatebristol, clumsy (Toulouse France), siblings (London), transkaters (London), bronxgirlsskate who participated in this video, among many many others. Glad to see Trans and queer night in bay66 btw. My way of consuming skateboarding is primarily through Instagram so Instagram skaters inspired the most like Briana King, the girls from Brixton baddest Stefani Nurding, Amy Gillingwater, Marbie Princess, Arin, Kien Caples too, Atalimendes, Palice (represent Birmingham), the girls from Skate Kitchen.
There are so many, I’m sure I will miss some. A lot of regular skaters girls and queers making sick edits and posting on IG inspire me to keep going everyday. If I had to chose three from the top of my head I would say that my heroes are: Cher Strauberry for the punk attitude, Savannah Stacey Keenan for the steeze, Vitoria Bortolo for the lines.”
