Biography

Despite the band's deliberately innocuous sounding name, Daughters are an exercise in extreme grindcore noise. Though the all-male quintet is from Providence, RI, comparisons to Japanese noise acts like Melt Banana and the Boredoms are not without merit. Daughters' music is slightly less chaotic and more overtly structured, but with a similarly unsettling manic edge. Daughters (use of a definite article is strongly, daresay intemperately, discouraged) formed in Providence in 2001 out of the acrimonious breakup of local noise rock outfit As the Sun Sets. Singer Alexis Marshall, guitarists Brent Scott Frattini (ex-the Cancer Conspiracy) and Nicholas Andrew Sadler, bassist Samuel Morehouse Walker, and drummer Jonathan Syverson released their first EP, Daughters, on the City of Hell label in 2002; at four songs in just barely over four minutes, it was minimalist noisecore at its most concise, although song titles like "My Stereo Has Mono and So Does My Girlfriend" show a certain panache. Canada Songs followed in 2003 on the Robotic Empire label; although described as a full-length album, its ten songs (with even more overtly goofy titles) are squeezed into just over 11 minutes. With the exception of a stopgap live album recorded at CBGB's that was released in 2004, Daughters laid low for the next few years, and when they returned, some notable changes had been made. On Daughters' second album, Hell Songs, Marshall's previously unintelligible gibber of a voice is replaced by a more measured baritone snarl akin to Nick Cave's Birthday Party days; similarly, the songs, though still brutal, are over twice as long on average, allowing for a greater dynamic range. ~ Stewart Mason, All Music Guide

Daughters is a mathcore band formed in 2001 in Providence, Rhode Island after the demise of Providence-based As the Sun Sets. Daughters have three releases including their self-titled EP, Canada Songs LP and Hell Songs.[citation needed] It has also been announced that the band will re-release their self titled ep under the title "2002 EP" on April 1, 2009. Recording for Daughters' next full-length album is scheduled to begin in late-April, 2009. [2]

The band's sound is a mixture of Grindcore and Experimental Rock, with a large influence of noise music and even death metal at times. This combination has caused the band to be labeled as Mathcore, even though the band's music focuses very little on technicality and rather fast, odd sounding riffs that are typically played on higher frets (whereas a typical grindcore band would play on lower frets), tapping, and oddly placed clean guitar "melodies".

From Hydra Head's Twitter feed: "Ok, so, we talked it over and decided that Tuesday, March 9th 2010 is definitely the day the new DAUGHTERS album will be available on CD."
