Ink & Dagger were a hardcore punk band from Philadelphia, PA. They were active from 1995 to 1999. They were led by guitarist Don Devore and vocalist Sean Patrick McCabe, the only consistent members of the band. They were known for their intense, theatrical live performances, vampiric aesthetic, and influence on other bands in their genre such as Thursday, Refused, and My Chemical Romance.

McCabe died in 2000 at age 27, shortly after recording the band’s second and final self-titled album. The band reunited in 2010 for a series of benefit shows, with Thursday’s Geoff Rickly taking the position as lead vocalist, before disbanding again in 2011.
