Some Girls was a hardcore punk group from the United States, formed by musicians with strong roots in the hardcore scene.
Origins and initial recordings (2002–2003)
In early 2002, vocalist Wesley Eisold and guitarist Rob Moran set out to establish a hardcore band with significant intensity. Drummer Sal Gallegos joined shortly thereafter, and they composed their first tracks within a matter of hours.[1]
Their demo recordings caught the attention of Deathwish Inc, who issued their debut 7-inch release, The Rains, after remixing the material. Initially without a fixed bassist, the band intended to use various players but soon added Justin Pearson on bass following two live performances. Subsequently, guitarist Christopher Sprague became part of the lineup, and they recorded the EP The Blues. These two EPs were combined into the 2003 compilation album All My Friends Are Going Death.[1]
The DNA Will Have Its Say and Heaven's Pregnant Teens (2004–2006)
During 2004, Some Girls embarked on tours along both the East and West Coasts. After completing their East Coast dates, Sprague departed to concentrate on his work with Tristeza and was succeeded by guitarist Chuck Rowell. In August of that year, they recorded a seven-track EP titled The DNA Will Have Its Say, which showcased their desire to merge harshness with experimental elements. Founding guitarist Moran exited in 2005 to pursue other endeavors based in Seattle.[1]
Their first full-length studio album, Heaven's Pregnant Teens, was released in January 2006 through Epitaph Records. This effort reflected the band's intention to transcend traditional chord progressions and time signatures, aiming for an unconventional and demanding sound.[1]
Disbandment (2007)
On October 23, 2007, it was announced that Some Girls had disbanded, a fact later confirmed by their former label Deathwish Inc., which stated the group had "called it a day." Throughout their career, they released music via Deathwish, 31G, and Epitaph Records and toured alongside bands such as Daughters, The Locust, and Converge.
Musical style
Some Girls combined elements of mathcore, grindcore, and noise rock in their sound. Their style drew parallels with acts like Daughters, The Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower, Year Future, Moving Units, Cattle Decapitation, Rah Bras, and The Blood Brothers.
