Words Like Daggers was a post-hardcore band from Des Moines, Iowa, United States.

Band started out in 2009 and in April 2010, after many months spent solidifying the lineup and working on demo material, Words Like Daggers officially kicked off with a series of high-profile regional shows with artists such as The Bled, Haste The Day, Upon A Burning Body, Attack Attack!, Of Mice And Men, The Color Morale, and My Children My Bride. In August 2010 they hit the studio with producer/engineer Cory Spotts (Job For A Cowboy, Blessthefall, Greeley Estates, The Maine, and many more) to record their five song debut EP, These Transient Times, which was released in October 2010. The EP was well received and shortly landed them a spot on the roster of.

Georgia based recording label Indianola Records. The album was also followed by additional high-profile regional shows with artists like Norma Jean, Born Of Osiris, Asking Alexandria, Chiodos, The Air I Breathe, and Motionless In White. After many months of writing, gigging, and working on demo material, Words Like Daggers once again went into the studio, but this time with producer/engineer Joseph McQueen (As I Lay Dying, Ruben Studdard, and many more) to record their debut full-length album, Literature. After just eleven days, they completed the eight track record and proceeded on a few tours with label mates This Day Will Tell and Scream Out Loud as well as Hotfoot Records artist I, Apparatus. Following the physical and digital release of Literature on May 8th, 2012, Words Like Daggers set out on summer and fall tours featuring bands like Sky Came Burning, Honour Crest (Indianola Records), Phinehas (Red Cord Records), Alistair Hennessey, and many more. Currently, the group is gigging regionally while writing and recording their third studio effort, which is shaping up to be the projectæs most exciting installment yet.
