Thrill Jockey Records signs Double Dagger
The Baltimore punk trio Double Dagger just signed to Chicago-based indie label Thrill Jockey Records.
Double Dagger is currently recording a new album, which Thrill Jockey could release next year, according to the label's press agent, David Halstead.
"We're super excited to have them with us," Halstead said. "I think we've signed half of Baltimore now."
Halstead isn't too far from the truth -- Daniel Higgs, Arbouretum, Thank You and a number of other Charm City acts are currently on Thrill Jockey.
Congrats, fellas! You can see Double Dagger live when the Baltimore Round Robin Tour comes to Sonar Dec. 19.
