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.

We spoke with the band, Sal, Bea, and Raquel, about the new release and the journey the band has been on to get here. We break down the past two years, staying grounded, having fun, the trials of filming on the DLR, and so much more.
