» The last time we gave a band some disposable cameras, it was to see two of our favorites tour to the farthest reaches of northeast Canada together. This time we've brought it closer to home.

Over Memorial Day weekend, Double Dagger celebrated the release of their newest LP More with a series of shows in Baltimore and Brooklyn. So we thought it would be fun to ask them if they would photograph their own record release show at Brooklyn's Market Hotel. They obliged, handing off the cameras to fans as they played. What came out is a perfect representation of this beautifully sweaty evening--one they shared with Screaming Females and Air Waves. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to see a rock show in a boarded-up DIY venue in Bushwick Brooklyn, the fog on the camera lens says it all. Here's what it looked like to Double Dagger.
