Dagger Polyester

Pull back the red velvet curtain of the LA underground and you’ll find Dagger Polyester—a force of nature fusing punk, glam, and art rock into something fiercely original. Their music channels subversive authenticity and theatrical defiance, drawing on influences from Roxy Music to Kenneth Anger. With sharp, satirical songwriting and a sound that embraces contradiction, Dagger confronts queerness, masculinity, and identity with style and wit. Their electrifying live performances—part punk riot, part glam opera—have landed them on stages with Yves Tumor, Weyes Blood, and The Lemon Twigs. Produced by Chris Robinson (The Black Crowes), Dagger’s debut full-length arrives in 2025, ready to upend everything you thought you knew about rock.
