Dag Nasty

"Cold Heart" / "Wanting Nothing" (snippets)

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Apr 4, 2016

As previously reported, the original lineup of DC punk greats Dag Nasty got back in the studio last December after 30 years apart. The resulting two-song 7-inch officially hits stores May 20 through Dischord, but you can sample the melodic hardcore magic ahead of time with a pair of teaser clips.

A-side "Cold Heart" is the faster of the two tracks, driven by Colin Sears' double-time gallop. Shawn Brown's howl, which plots an escape of some sort, is most fitting above the mix of riffs both burly and melancholic.

"Wanting Nothing" shows off a few elastic riffs, courtesy of Brian Baker, and a steadier, Revolution Summer-style pace.

You'll find snippets of both cuts via the player down below.
