Seventh Dagger Fest

The first annual Seventh Dagger Fest was held on 24 and 25 May 2008 at The Mad Hatter in Covington, Kentucky. The two-day event featured Seventh Dagger bands such as Rhinoceros, Eyes to the Sky, Tyrant, AFB, Birth of a Hero and The World We Knew as well as other well-known straight edge bands like Thick as Blood and Suicide Pact.

Being a straight edge, hardcore record label is the epitome of being underground or cult and the truth of the matter is that is where we should be. Straight edge is not for the masses and it never will be, so as I see it we might have made a minor buzz for a minute then the world would move on and not give a shit and we would have been tied to some corporate distribution that I am sure could ichave cared less about us." Seventh Dagger currently distributes through several well-known distributors, including
