Art rock provocateurs Double Dagger are a very loud post-punk band who sing about such topics as building luxury condos for the poor, war graphics on cable news, and ITC Franklin Gothic. Strals and Willen's work for Double Dagger has encompassed packaging, websites, shirts, many concert posters, and all other visual representations of the band.

More LPDouble Dagger's third album is titled MORE, a reference to the band's hometown of Baltimore as well as the numerous attributes of the album that are more-so than their previous recordings. A monumental MORE statue graces the front cover while the back is filled with a lengthy, hand-lettered list of the album's "mores" (more feedback, more loud, more stolen mini-vans, more arguments, etc).

Masks EPFor the Double Dagger EP Masks Strals and Willen created three different cover designs illustrated with unique sets of masks on front and back. The three versions are each printed in a different metallic ink, and the die-cut "eyes" of the masks change color depending on the orientation of the inner LP sleeve or CD face. The LP jackets are printed at actual scale, so that the packaging can function as a working mask once the record has been removed. All versions were shrink-wrapped with a sticker displaying the band name, album title, and barcode.

Ragged Rubble LPThe second album by the post-punk band Double Dagger features louder, noisier, and more politically charged songs than on the band's previous releases. Reflecting these changes (and the drummer's love of maps), we created a shattered composition by rearranging America's 50 states. The abrasive color scheme is continued onto the back cover where the band name is drawn as if each letter were a state. CDs are offset printed digipaks, while the limited edition LPs are pressed on clear vinyl with hand-screenprinted sleeves.
