Air Drawn Dagger

Air Drawn Dagger is a dynamic trio hailing from Sheffield, known for their eclectic blend of electronic, punk, grunge, and angst-pop sounds. The band's journey began when vocalist Maisie Manterfield and guitarist Lewis Budden started writing songs in the back of a cake shop. They quickly gained momentum, playing to diverse crowds ranging from hardcore shows to more intimate settings like tapas restaurants. With drummer Ross Dore completing the trio, they have toured extensively in the UK and North America, garnering support from BBC Introducing and other underground publications. Their name, Air Drawn Dagger, is inspired by Macbeth, symbolizing a characterization of an emotional outburst. Recently signed to Long Branch Records, they continue to make waves with new releases like "Castle" and "Apparitions," setting the stage for their debut album.

Their fanbase, affectionately known as the Church of Dagger, has grown significantly due to their energetic live performances and immersive creative projects, including their own Zine and visually captivating music videos. Air Drawn Dagger's career highlights include signing publishing deals early on, touring internationally, and engaging a dedicated fanbase through their unique sound and community-driven approach to music.
