Comment: Tallinn Daggers is a duo (Ardo Kivi, Joosep Volk) from the Estonian capital whose 4-piece EP used to run in the vein of the best post-punk and gothic dance traditions. So the listener can hear lots of brooding bass guitar lines, gritty guitar chords, stomping drum lines, and ethereal synth whiffs rolling above it thus reminiscent of such bands as The Cure, Joy Division/New Order, The Comsat Angels, Durutti Column, and even Happy Mondays and Primal Scream. There can be implied that it is another great rock band who used to fuse the 70/80`s mesmerizing post-punk template with highly catchy dance-appealed grooves in addition to Stones & Holes. By the way, if you have chance then I recommend to visit them at stages because of being enough spectacular and suggestive.
