Ink & Dagger

Formed in 1996, Ink & Dagger was a Vampire-themed punk rock band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The two permanent members throughout the band's career were guitarist Don DeVore and vocalist Sean McCabe (who passed away in 2000). Other members included Dave McLaughlin, Ashli State, Joshua Brown, Jennifer Park, and Eric Warheim (of "Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!" on Adult Swim!!!). They were notable for bringing the theatrics of glam rock bands like KISS to punk rock shows, and for mixing more experimental rock music with hardcore / punk rock. Band members frequently incorporated references to vampires in their dark music, painted their faces and played with fake blood. Members were previously in The Mandela Strike Force, Frail, Crud Is a Cult and Flagman.
