Electro-emo angst-pop trio AIR DRAWN DAGGER have released the track “Castle” via Long Branch Records, alongside a music video directed by Aaran McKenzie (While She Sleeps).

Produced by Neil Kennedy (Creeper, Boston Manor), the new single is a powerful statement of who the band are: a genre-bending force with a message of defiance and individuality.

“‘Castle’ is the song of protagonists, The Martyrs,” comment Air Drawn Dagger. “It was inspired by a painting in Nottingham Castle depicting the night voting reform was shot down by the Duke in 1831. A mob set the whole castle on fire in protest. This video was an ambitious one for us, we wanted to create a world that felt bigger than ourselves whilst introducing you to as many characters as possible in less than  four minutes. Opening with a cinematic drone shot of an on-foot chase, the entire video is full of immersive storytelling cut with frantic performance shots. By the end, we have witnessed how the chase came to be, the evolution of characters and even the death of a hero. The last shot eliminates any doubt that there will be a part 2 to this story…”

“Superb, truly epic tracks here. Somewhere between Hot Milk & Beartooth. Unreal!”” — BBC Introducing

“With enough teenage angst to fill any nostalgic millennial who misses the good old days of 2000s emo, Air Drawn Dagger are ones to watch!”  —Bring The Noise

Air Drawn Dagger blend raw emotion and defiance into a sound that defies genre. Their name, taken from Macbeth, symbolizes the chaos and emotional outbursts that fuel their music. BBC Introducing championed their early releases, and they soon found themselves on major playlists like Pop Punk Generation, Emo Anthems, and All New Rock. Air Drawn Dagger’s momentum is undeniable. They’ve sold out their own headline shows and played packed-out UK dates with Millie Manders. Recent shows with Lake Malice, Dream State, and AVIVIA saw more back-to-back sellouts along with curating their own stage at the Tramlines Festival Fringe. With over 250,000 views on the music video for their single “You Should Have Known Better,” which also featured on the Kerrang! Chart, and multiple tracks premiering on BBC Introducing, the band’s cult-like following continues to grow.

Following their sold-out show at The Leadmill last year, Air Drawn Dagger have also announced their biggest show to date at Corporation, in their hometown of Sheffield, on Saturday April 5, 2025.

With all this, and more to come, 2025 is set to be The Year of the Dagger.
