Double Dagger is a post-punk trio from Baltimore, Maryland composed of only drums, vocals, and a very loud bass guitar which fills the space a guitar would normally take. Vocalist Nolen Strals and bassist Bruce Willen also comprised the graphic design team Post Typography, which has done work for some very high-profile clients, including ''The New York Times''.

In October 2011, Double Dagger officially broke up after a small final tour, but has since reunited occasionally for one-off shows. History Nolen Strals and Bruce Willen initially met while they were students at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore.
