Shooting Daggers Interview: Talking 'The Real Life Thing'

Shooting Daggers, the London-based genre-fluid, queercore, punk-loving and hardcore-embracing band, are back with ‘The Real Life Thing’. A seven song mini-album that will be released on June 5th, 2026, via New Heavy Sounds on limited edition shiny black vinyl and digital. It’s all about variety. About showcasing their expanded range, innate ability to genre bend, and how emotion can be used in powerful ways. It’s all about being present and focusing on what really matters to you.
