At the Living Room in Providence. I didn't even know they were still around. Album is called Hell Songs.

What I've heard so far is similar to their older stuff except the singer is now drunk instead of on fire. The band has added some groove to their wind-up death-metal so they come off less like the postgrindcore Rat At Rat R and more like The Jesus Lizard On Radar. The faux-retard smarty-pants schtick can be grating, but I guess it's admirable that with 2 CDs and a single their entire corpus still clocks in at less than 30 minutes.

Still not sure if I'm gonna leave the house for this, though.

There are a thousand other bands that do this sort of thing so much better (see 31G and GSL rosters). The Daughters are pretty terrible.

GSL? Isn't that mostly bad synth-punk stuff? (excepting The Chromatics and Veronica Lipgloss - even still, nothing like Daughters)

Locust comparisons are fair. Hell Songs sounds less like them than Canada Songs.

I guess it's admirable that with 2 CDs and a single their entire corpus still clocks in at less than 30 minutes.

I will take this back, though. New CD's 23 minutes long, fucking sellouts.

I'd rather listen to Oxbow or Some Girls -- and I'm not dying to hear either of those.

its not much of a surprise - Daughters tour constantly and are beloved by the grind scene.

we played with them at culture shock last year and their drummer sat in with us, which made for good fun.
