4.0 out of 5 stars Great Bands join together, May 11, 2006

Since I can't define Some Girl's sound to a single genre, it would be better to describe their sound based on what bands the members come from. From the legendary synth-grind act known as The Locust comes one of the more prominent members, Justin Pearson, along with additional members from bands like Give Up The Ghost and American Nightmare. There's a lot of influence and skill involved in the band. It's a surprise that they can get together and make music like this, despite their differences and busy schedules. But alas, Some Girls creates a genious equation that seems to stun even the most seasoned listeners of aggressive music.

Most of the songs here are similiar in nature. The traditional grind/hardcore drumming patterns and occasional blast beats. The guitars range in style. Some songs have more traditional San Diego scene guitar elements, while others seem to take off in their own direction. However, the vocals are where this band really shines. Wes Eisbold gives ranting hardcore screams accompanied by the shreiking Justin Pearson. This combination never gets old. Just when you think you've figured out the pattern, one of them comes up with a different way of screaming the words just right so they change in appearance.

What can I really say more? This band shreds. If you like any of the bands these guys come from, I would highly recommend you pick this up. For that matter, all fans of aggresive music should check this out. It's that good.

4.0 out of 5 stars all star screamo rock, February 28, 2005

It took me a few listens to get into this, but I'm digging it... basically Swing Kids/Locust type music with American Nightmare scream-vocals. This is a good rebound album from my disappointment with the latest Blood Brothers album (which I think is too dance oriented). Sometimes you just want to listen to someone scream their head off and the rest of the guys play as fast and mathematic as possible. Reminiscent of "golden era" mid-90's screamo bands. Thumbs up!

(I'm not even going to touch on the Juliana Hatfield thing... some people should do their homework before throwing their money around!)

After hearing Heaven's Pregnant Teens, I quickly went out and picked up thsi album. And I was dizzyed after the first two songs; as my mind and musical ear cannot seem to slightly categorize this outfit. But in terms of attitude and aggression, this is punk. And it is a better punk record then most "punk" these days claims to be. The album smothers your senses with inaudible, slightly intoxicating cacaphonic wretching and intricately brutal instrumentation that leaves blood trails in it's wake. What plays off as simple but scary blastbeats, actually comes off as a new interpretation for punk rock. The lyrics are some of the best, and offensive things ever put to paper. Some Girls are obviously going for the agenda of simply bashing your skull and earholes with unhinged musical chaos. Otherwise, they come off with it at a smashing pace, and I truly enjoyed this album for it's originality and seperation from most of the aggressive music out today. Also, a terrific art layout by Converge frontman and extrodinare J. Bannon.
