History Music / Daughters

* IntercourseWithYou: "I Slept with Daughters and All I Got Was This Lousy Song Written About Me" is a rather oblique example, seemingly about an empty and destructive relationship based solely on sex. "The Ghost with the Most" is similar, being about a {{Casanova}} character who uses his womanizing to cover up his emotional emptiness.

* EpicRocking: Though relatively mild compared to many other bands, ''You Won't Get What You Want'' has a huge amount of this in comparison to their previous albums. Of its 10 songs, 4 are more than 5 minutes long, with the longest ones being "Ocean Song" (7:18), "Satan in the Wait" (7:06), and "City Song" (5:56). Meanwhile on ''Hell Songs'', we have the penultimate track "Cheers Pricks" (6:00).

** The last seconds of "I Slept With Daughters and All I Got Was This Lousy Song Written About Me" are a trippy synth drone paired with some creepy echoing guitars. Coming on the otherwise cacophonous ''Canada Songs'', it's out of place enough to qualify as a LastNoteNightmare.

** The debut EP gives us "Hello Assholes", "Flattery is a Bunch of Fucking Bullshit", and "Room Full of Hard-ons and Nowhere to Sit Down".

** "I Slept With Daughters And All I Got Was This Lousy Song Written About Me" ends with a jarringly quiet and understated DroneOfDread.

* LongestSongGoesLast: "The Ghost With the Most" on ''Canada Songs'', at a mere 1:53, still manages to be this.

* MinisculeRocking: Almost exclusively so until relatively recently. Their debut album goes through 10 songs in 10 minutes, the longest being just seven seconds short of two minutes.. ''Hell Songs'' has only four out of ten songs go over two minutes. Until ''You Won't Get What You Want'', they only had three songs go over 4 minutes, two of which came from their SelfTitledAlbum.
* MoodWhiplash: "Flattery is a Bunch of Fucking Bullshit" abruptly switches from battering grindcore to a clean instrumental that wouldn't sound out of place on an Music/AmericanFootball album. It's easily the gentlest moment in the band's entire catalog.

** The outro to "I Slept With Daughters And All I Got Was This Lousy Song Written About Me" is so quiet and out of place compared to the rest of the record that it actually becomes incredibly creepy.

* SexBot: "Jones From Indiana" is about one.

In October 2021, Marshall was accused of abuse by his ex-girlfriend Kristin Hayter, who performs under the alias Music/LinguaIgnota. Hayter elaborated on her accusation in December of that year, providing a full document of instances of rape and mental abuse that allegedly occurred during their relationship from July 2019 to June 2021. Marshall released a statement denying the allegations and announcing that he would investigate legal options.

* LongTitle: They love this.
** On ''Canada Songs'': "I Slept with the Daughters and All I Got Was This Lousy Song Written About Me", "And Then the C.H.U.D.s Came", "Mike Morowitz, the Fantasy Fuck", "Nurse, Would You Please Prep the Patient for Sexual Doctor", "I Don't Give a Shit About Wood, I'm Not a Chemist", and "Damn Those Blood Suckers and Their Good Qualities".
** The debut EP has "Flattery is a Bunch of Fucking Bullshit", "Room Full of Hard-Ons and Nowhere to Sit Down", and "My Stereo Has Mono and So Does My Girlfriend".
** ''You Won't Get What You Want'' is a lesser example.

Daughters are a rock band from Providence, UsefulNotes/RhodeIsland. Their sound is most commonly pigenonholed as NoiseRock, but over the course of their career they've done everything from mathgrind to {{post punk}} to {{industrial}}.

However, on their subsequent album ''Hell Songs'', the band started to come into their own, switching to a more NoiseRock-inspired sound while Marshall abandoned the {{metal scream}}s in favor of a clean singing style reminiscent of [[Music/TheJesusLizard David Yow]] and Music/NickCave. They became known for their raucous and violent live shows, with Marshall frequently performing completely nude and assaulting audience members, among other things. They released a SelfTitledAlbum in 2010, considered to be the band's most diverse and accessible record to date, but broke up shortly afterwards due to increasing tensions between Marshall and the rest of the band.

* BadassBaritone: Lex's voice is naturally pretty deep, as can be heard on some of their slower tracks like "City Song" and "Less Sex".

They were founded in the [[TurnOfTheMillennium early 2000s]] by vocalist Alexis S.F. Marshall, guitarist Jeremy Wabiszczewicz, and drummer Jon Syverson following the breakup of their previous band, the {{grindcore}} act As the Sun Sets. They added guitarist Nick Sadler and bassist Pat Masterson to the lineup before releasing their debut EP, ''Daughters'', in 2002, and debut LP, ''Canada Songs'', in 2003. These records were math-influenced grindcore in the same vein as As the Sun Sets, featuring extremely short, fast songs with HarshVocals.

The band lay dormant for three years before Marshall and Sadler were convinced to bury the hatchet with each other. The two then reached out to Jon Syverson and bassist Samuel Walker, both of whom agreed to reform Daughters, and work was started on a comeback album. After a lengthy creative process which saw over a hundred songs written, the band finally returned with ''You Won't Get What You Want'' in 2018, to the best sales and reviews of their whole career.

Discography:

Daughters are a GenreBusting rock band from Providence, Rhode Island. Their sound is most commonly pigenonholed as NoiseRock, but over the course of their career they've done everything from mathgrind to {{post punk}} to {{industrial}}.

* FilkSong: "The First Supper" is based on the movie ''Film/{{Ravenous 1999}}''.

* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: Even considering the GenreRoulette on ''You Won't Get What You Want'', "Less Sex" comes out of nowhere. It's way slower and more radio friendly than anything else they've done, almost sounding like a Music/NineInchNails track.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: Alexis S.F. Marshall, usually shortened to "Lex" by fans.

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Generally in the 8-10 range, making them one of the few groups to climb up to those levels without harsh vocals, though some of their more conventional tracks can go down to a 6 or 7.

* BadassMustache: Samuel Walker has a pretty mean handlebar. Marshall used to have one until he got sober.
