DAUGHTERS are a five-piece musical fistfight
from Providence, Rhode Island. Bastard children of the New England
hardcore and noise scenes, DAUGHTERS frequently get mislabeled as
a grindcore band. In truth, DAUGHTERS present a new kind of spastic
musical confrontation that exposes narrow-minded metal-by-numbers
for what it is (boring) much to the satisfaction of fans that recognize
and appreciate creative musical ambition. Their latest release,
2006’s Hell Songs marks a significant artistic progression
for the band, building upon the chaotic intensity of 2003’s
Canada Songs with fleshed out arrangements and debauched lyrics
delivered in desperate yowl. PopMatters described it as “The
most dramatic stylistic shift by an extreme band in 2006, Hell Songs
is a mere glimpse of what this immensely talented band is capable
of.”
DAUGHTERS thrive on presenting a memorable live experience. Their
shows are explosions of precise intensity served as a platform for
frontman Alexis Marshall’s particularly personal brand of
connecting with the audience. Not afraid to reach out and touch
(and occasionally exchange bodily fluids with) their fans, DAUGHTERS
deliver their songs with no shortage of sweat and confident passion.
Not for the faint of heart, DAUGHTERS present the listener with
something of real substance, something with feeling. Or as Decoymusic.com
put it, “Daughters are fucking
insane.”
