Ah yes my 3rd Ink & Dagger post, as some might know I love Ink & Dagger with a passion, I ripped the audio from the Hate5Six filmed recording so please check them & all their awesome videos out! HATE5SIX . This goes out to the fellow devil children who missed out on getting to see them at this is hardcore (such as myself due to being sketched out on). I have also included 3 songs from when they played the Party Expo in NY before TIH in Philly. As everyone has herd Geoff Rickly of Thursday fame is doing vocals for these reunion shows. I threw together something to make a cover for the Ipod/mp3 player Kids out there.
I&D 2010: Don Devore - guitar Josh Brown - bass Terry Yerves - drums Chris Tropea - lights Geoff Rickly - vocals
This is my 2nd Ink & Dagger post, check out my 1st post if you missed out or have never herd of them. I ripped This audio from live videos uploaded on youtube by user pillgrimsprogress. so check those out! It's not the best sounding stuff (vocals are kinda over powered by the music) but I figure some people might be happy having this. It's Ink & Daggers first show ever. I plan on hopefully doing one more I&D post sometime in August after their This Is Hardcore 2010 reunion if I can get the audio from the people filming it. I also made a nice cover to go with it for the Ipod fans out there.

One of my all time favorite bands in the world, the almighty INK & DAGGER. I&D was a Vampire-themed punk hardcore band from Philadelphia that formed in 1996. The band was started by the only two permanent members throughout the band's ever changing line up, guitarist Don Devore and vocalist Sean Patrick McCabe after the break ups of their former bands Frail & Mandela Strike Force. Ink & Dagger was very influenced by vampires & they frequently incorporated references to them in their music. During 1996 to 1997 (Love Is Dead EP, & Drive this Seven-inch stake era) they would often paint their faces, play with fake blood, throw up on Christmas trees & have strobe lights on stage. In 1998 when The fine Art of Original Sin came out they stopped wearing the face paint and the music started to lean away from the punk hardcore roots and more towards experimental music, but of course they were still as crazy as ever. In 1999 after extensive touring & recording what was to be the band's final album Ink & Dagger (self titled) , Ink & Dagger formally announced that they were disbanding. In 2000 singer Sean McCabe (at age 27) was found dead in a motel room in Indiana after he had ingested to much alcohol. he had passed out due to the drinking, and choked on his own vomit. Some members were previously in or went on to be in Crud is a Cult, The Mandela Strike Force, Frail, Amazing Baby, Souls She Said, Lenola, Like A Fox, Elements of Need, Sola, The Icarus Line, Historics, Lilys, Mazarin, Ghost Note, Rain on The Parade, The Telephone Man, SnakeEater, Armbar, Guilt, Life Time, Kid Dynamite, I Am Heaven, 12 Tone System, ISO, The Series, The Interpreters, & Soundtrak. I've read in an old livewire records message board post that theirs also some unreleased stuff that includes some instrumentals and alternate takes but I've never been able to find them.
I&D was at different times:
Sean McCabe - vocals/programing
Don Devore - guitar/programing
Ashli State - bass
Terrance Yerves - drums
Eric Wareheim - bass
Jorge Gonzalez - guitar
David Wagenschutz - drums
Joshua Brown - bass/b.vocals
Ryan McLaughlin - drums
Jennifer Park - additional vocals
Chris Tropea - lights/roadie
Graham Williams?
*Note: yes Eric Wareheim, the co-creator and star of shows Tom Goes to the Mayor & Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! was a member of I&D during the Love Is Dead Days.
