Daggermouth go on hiatus
Alternative Press - Brian Shultz on 11/24/08 @ 6:35 PM - altpress.com"Is Daggermouth over?" singer Nick Leadlay rhetorically asked, then answered, "Yes and no. Yes in the sense right now we aren't playing shows/touring. We may not tour for a long time if ever again, to be honest. Will we ever play a show again? I don't know."
Leadlay does mention the greater possibility of another album being recorded.
The Vancouver pop-punk / melodic hardcore act last released Turf Wars in 2007 on State Of Mind.
