About
San Diego's Some Girls emerged in the mid-2000s as one of the most ferociously intense acts in the underground hardcore scene. The band brought together veterans from the San Diego and broader West Coast punk world, with vocalist Wes Eisold serving as the unhinged emotional core of the group. Their sound was a brutal collision of powerviolence, noise rock, and screamo — short, explosive tracks that felt like they were barely holding themselves together at the seams. There was nothing polished or commercial about what they were doing, and that was entirely the point. Their 2006 album Heaven's Pregnant Craters is widely regarded as a landmark of the era, a record that hardcore devotees still revisit for its sheer controlled chaos and nihilistic intensity. The follow-up Feel Good Now pushed things even further into abrasive, experimental territory. Some Girls never chased mainstream recognition, but they earned serious credibility among fans who live and breathe underground heavy music. Eisold would later pivot toward post-punk and darkwave with Cold Cave, but Some Girls remains a vital and uncompromising chapter in mid-2000s hardcore history.
