Daughters Let Loose on Brooklyn Steel on Thursday Night
Daughters – Brooklyn Steel – December 19, 2019
This week, I’ve seen footage of the snow squall rolling onto the island of Manhattan filmed from a number of different angles. Maybe because the night was so cold, when Daughters took the stage at Brooklyn Steel on Thursday, I thought of that enormous, hungry mass of freezing air, swallowing suddenly and totally. The Providence, R.I., band’s music descends like a curtain, overwhelming and irresistible with crushing guitars and relentless drums. Vocalist Alexis Marshall has fronted death-metal acts before, but the nihilistic barks of tracks like openers “The Reason They Hate Me” and “The Lords Song,” managed to make something even bleaker of his clean shouts fronting Daughters. Where Show Me the Body’s Julian Cashwan-Pratt, prowling the stage like an animal readying to kill in his trademark gray sweat suit and red glasses, was all rage and defiance during the band’s opening set (“First one to the stage gets a free T-shirt,” he sneered), Daughters were the cold.
The photographer Neal Boenzi was known for his ability to turn New York city into anything without making it look like anywhere else, maybe most famously for a certain picture, taken from the Empire State Building in the 1966 smog. In it, the city looks dead, more like a warning of a future Armageddon than an obscure day in the past. Behind Daughters at Brooklyn Steel, the artwork for their latest release, 2018’s You Won’t Get What You Want, (something like a skull, but even more vacant, maybe after centuries of desiccation) loomed over the band and the writhing crowd. As they played, guitarist Nicholas Sadler’s lead lines spread their tendrils, annexing a steely empire of bitterness, inch by inch. At that moment, the city must have looked similar: empty skyscrapers knifing the sky, but losing the war, being dragged under an icy veil. —Adlan Jackson | @AdlanKJ

I can’t tell you how excited I was when I found out that Daughters chose to stop by Saturn Birmingham. These noise rockers will melt your face and smash your brain into a million pieces. Once this auditory havoc ends, Daughters also builds you back up into a stronger person. This is the reward for enduring music that will push you far out of your comfort zone. I was blown away by their 2018 masterpiece, You Won’t Get What You Want. The chaos on this record blooms into a beautiful, unforgettable experience that translates well onto the stage. I felt like that I was in a war zone while filming this video.
Just In: Juliet’s tour manager is Jon Syverson. Aka BVB’s former tour manager for like eight years. So instead of hiring one of the hundreds of female tour managers she got someone connected to her husbands career again. This isn’t the first time she has used Jon via Andy. She was also criticized then. Remember last year when all the little Czarling claimed Juliet would hire more women for tour once she could? Yeah that didn’t happen. She works with the same MEN. They are so gullible.

Daughters se fundaron en 2002 en Providence (Rhode Island), tras la ruptura del grupo de grindcore As The Sun Sets. Está formada en la actualidad por Alexis Marshall (vocalista), Nick Sadler (guitarrista), Sam Walker (bajista) y Jon Syverson (batería).
En su discografía encontramos un EP, de título homónimo, fechado en 2002, un disco en directo, “Live At The CBGB” (2004), y cuatro álbumes de estudio, “Canada Songs” (2003), “Hell Songs” (2006), “Daughters” (2010) y “You Won't Get What You Want” (2018). El primer material del grupo fue descrito como grindcore, mientras que a partir de su segundo LP han ido entrado en la categoría del noise rock.
Por el camino han ido coleccionando más etiquetas (rock industrial, no wave, metal alternativo, post-punk...), aceptándolas todas salvo la de math rock, con la cual no comulgan. “La música de Daughters siempre ha sido la de una banda calculada, pero no en el sentido del math rock.
Ninguno de nosotros tiene una formación musical clásica y no creo que nadie en la banda haya tomado ninguna lección de nada. La música simplemente nos sale de la manera que nos sale”, ha declarado su vocalista, cuya forma de cantar ha sido comparada con la de un Elvis Presley siendo torturado o Jerry Lee Lewis con drogas alucinógenas. Además de sus discos, sus conciertos también han sido aplaudidos por su visceralidad, habiendo sido descritos como “un golpeo maníaco” (Pitchfork) y “energía frenética y urgencia espástica” (Punk News).
