Some Girls - All My Friends are Going Death

Some Girls are the twisted, ADD-riddled brainchild of Give Up the Ghost's Wes Eisold, Over My Dead Body's Rob Moran, and the Locust's Justin Pearson. With a resume like that, you can't expect this record to not garner some well deserved attention. All My Friends are Going Death proudly displays the members' previous work but also shines with a new intensity. More leaning towards Pearson's history with the Locust/Swing Kids/Holy Molar than with Eisold's Boston hardcore roots, Some Girls plays a spastic, screamy brand of hardcore with humorous, sexual song titles (Sex & Glue, Some Girls Have all the Fuck), sub-60 second songs and a cover of the Stooges' "No Fun". Eisold's lyrics are still as top-notch as they ever were, and the double vocal attack brings to mind a rawer, less technical (and less sassy) Blood Brothers. Definitely a worthwhile album. Just ignore the 40+ tracks of silence you must endure to get to a Some Girls demo at song #69. [www.deathwishinc.com]
