One day the kudzu will take over the South, streaming through
abandoned cars, cracking through building facades and ultimately
washing away humanity's insouciant past. Or, at least, that is the
post-Apocalyptic image below the Mason-Dixon line. (Up North, people
tend to envision smouldering cityscapes and talking rats.) Although
raised in the former seat of the Confederacy, Richmond, VA's
Cloak/Dagger manages to invoke both flavors of doom, as well as a few
others that haunt the imaginations of folks worldwide.
Culling from the likes of Black Flag and Circle Jerks along with
driving-guitar-groove bands like Hot Snakes and Swiz,
Cloak/Dagger inject some applied aggression into their rhythmic
crunch. Formed as little more than a temporary project in October
2006, the group recorded its first demo within the month, soon
deciding to stay in the game a bit longer. After East Coast shows with
groups like Paint it Black, Fucked Up, Kill Your Idols and Career
Suicide, the group had fine-tuned its raw, unpolished punk sound.
Abrasive, in a good way. Ugly, in the best way. Who could form a more
perfect and lasting union?
