In late 2010 Digital Daggers had the single of the week, "No Easy Way," which gained over 150,000 downloads to promote the release of the debut digital EP Human Emotion. The title track of the EP was used by Ferrero Raffaello for a TV commercial in 2011. Their debut full-length album Close Your Eyes was released on 11 June 2013 by Los Angeles-based indie label El Camino Media. The song "The Devil Within" is currently being featured in trailers for the NBC series The Blacklist, Nikita, and Pretty Little Liars. In February 2014, they released "Aquarius" from the album 'Reimaginations: Volume One', which was used in the first episode of the CW show "Starcrossed".
Digital Daggers released their 2nd and final full-length album Mixed Emotions in 2014. The band had broken up before its release and have since had songs from the album featured in the TV Series How To Get Away With Murder. The song "Back To The Start" is featured on the upcoming Official Soundtrack album for How To Get Away With Murder released on Hollywood Records March 2016. Orange is the New Black featured "Save Us From Ourselves" in Season 7, Episode 4: "How to Do Life." The song begins as Maria recites from a pamphlet "Take what you want and leave the rest."
On 9 November 2017, Digital Daggers announced their return to the stage by presenting their newest song, "Devil's Choir". Space has been heavily active in the film and TV sync world as an artist, producer and performer, especially with his band Digital Daggers.

Digital Daggers Lyrics

Start spreading the news
I'm leaving today
I wanna be a part of it
These vagabond shoes are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
And find I'm king of the hill
Top of the heap
These little town blues are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it here
I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you
I wanna wake up in a city that never sleeps
And find I'm a number one
Top of the list
King of the hill
These little town blues are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it here
I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you

I am ecstatic about leaving and want to share this news with the world
I'm leaving today
My departure from this place is happening today
I wanna be a part of it
I desire to be included in the buzz and energy of New York City
These vagabond shoes are longing to stray
My unsettled spirit desires to explore, wander, and roam
Right through the very heart of it
I want to experience all that New York City has to offer, and to explore its core
I wanna wake up in a city that doesn't sleep
My longing is to reside in a city that is active and alive at all hours of the day and night
And find I'm king of the hill
I want to feel supreme, successful, and significant in my new environment
Top of the heap
My wish is to reside at the top of the social, cultural, and financial hierarchy of the city
These little town blues are melting away
The negative emotions and limitations that come from living in a small town are dissipating
I'll make a brand new start of it
A fresh beginning and a new chapter in my life awaits in New York City
In old New York
This great city has a rich history, and I am excited to be a part of its story
If I can make it here
If I can achieve success in the highly competitive and demanding environment of New York City
I'll make it anywhere
Then I will have gained the confidence and skills to succeed in any situation anywhere else in the world
It's up to you
The responsibility to achieve success and fulfillment in this city is mine alone, and I am ready to take on this challenge

Who disliked this! I'm gonna find that person and give it a pair of very non-digital daggers which it can keep tucked tightly in between it's ribs. yes, I consider the person who disliked this an it.

I use this song to explain World of Darkness to new roleplayers. If the real world is Frank Sinatra's New York, the World of Darkness is this version.
