Some Girls was a collective of musicians who came from different backgrounds and all who had established bands that pushed the limits of hardcore punk. Their musical style was a hybrid of mathcore, screamo, [Matt Schild, "Heaven's Pregnant Teens" review, "Aversion". [http://www.aversion.com/bands/reviews.cfm?review=2420] ] grindcore [Corey Apar, "Heaven's Pregnant Teens" review, "Allmusic".

History

After recording two EPs, they released their debut full length in 2003. Entitled "All My Friends Are Going Death", it compiled the material from their two previous releases along with demos and new material. In 2005, they released "The DNA Will Have Its Say", an EP, on bassist Justin Pearson's record label, Three One G Records. Karen O performed guest vocals on the title track. [Matthew Murphy, "Pitchforkmedia", August 4, 2005. [http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/22354-the-dna-will-have-its-say-ep] Access date: August 25, 2008.] In January 2006, they released a second full length, "Heaven's Pregnant Teens", on the well-known punk label Epitaph Records. The group covered "Religion II" by Public Image Ltd.. Wes Eisold commented that "There is a parallel between the way members of PiL felt at the time about the whole punk genre, and the way we feel about hardcore and punk now. It's so redundant now. It's monotonous. Personally, we're really bored with it."

Justin Pearson indicated that the Some Girls saw the bands Daughters, The Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower, Year Future, Moving Units, Cattle Decapitation, Rah Bras, and The Blood Brothers as related in style. [Epitaph interview, May 5, 2006. [http://www.epitaph.com/news/news/2590] Access date: August 24, 2008.]

Their breakup was announced in a "Punknews" article, published October 23, 2007. [ [http://www.punknews.org/article/26162] ] The band's former label, "Deathwish Inc." went on to confirm this announcement by posting that Some Girls had "called it a day." From Deathwish Inc.'s official website:

Word from various members of Some Girls is that they have officially and quietly put the band to rest.

Some Girls released music on Deathwish, 31G, and lastly Epitaph Records. The band also toured with the likes of Daughters, The Locust, Converge, and many more during their short life.
