Pull back the red velvet curtain of the Los Angeles underground scene and centerstage you’ll find Dagger Polyester. Their daring mash-up of punk, glam, and art rock paves the way for a new wave of rock music that defies any effort of categorization. The result is a sound unburdened by gimmicks or clichés — a subversive authenticity that finds harmony in contradiction and mirrors Dagger’s own journey in their gender transition.
