Native Daughters, Star Garbage, Limbwrecker, Despair Jordan

NATIVE DAUGHTERS Facebook | Instagram Native Daughters’ sound packs many of the body blows from heavy, riff-based post-metal. But it also draws melodies and rhythmic tension from the cream of the mid-90s emo/post-punk crop. Think Christie Front Drive covering Kyuss after the PA has blown out, and you’re on the right track. There are a few of the twinkly guitar leads and crushing breakdowns which are hallmarks of these divergent styles. But each are used as building blocks, not crutches or go-to elements. The middle ground between the two seems impossibly wide, but Native Daughters’ sound sharpens it into something lethal. Equal parts blunt force trauma and tense, swirling heartbreak; you won’t know what hit you, but you’ll be glad that it did. Star Garbage Website | Facebook Limbwrecker Facebook Despair Jordan
