“Basically, we wanted to brutalize people and have each song punch people in the face and not let up until they were choking on their own blood. None of this eyeliner-wearing, cupcake shit—just putting listeners’ open ears on the curb and stomping on their heads.” Sal Gallegos, Some Girls

The above is good an intro as any to Some Girls, a five-piece unit of punk pedigree hailing from San Diego, California. Sure, the group is comprised of the crème de le crass of musicians from the city’s famed hardcore/punk underground, but that’s not really the most important thing about Some Girls. Juicy quotes and name checks of the influential groups Some Girls’ members have played in (the Locust, American Nightmare, Plot To Blow Up The Eiffel Tower, Unbroken) are fine and good, but all you really need to do to understand what Some Girls are about is to listen to their music—if you can handle it.

Some Girls began in early 2002 when singer Wes Eisbold (American Nightmare) and guitarist Rob Moran (ex-Unbroken) spoke of putting together a fast and noisy hardcore band that would “fuck people up.” The very next day, drummer and Two Miles Till Iocon studios owner Sal Gallegos was called in to assist Eisbold and Moran with their mission and, within a few sweaty hours, the first Some Girls songs were born

Now, after a few releases on cool indie labels, and a couple of line up changes, Some Girls are heading to Australia to promote their recently released Epitaph debut "Heaven's Pregnant Teens" in June...

With Heaven’s Pregnant Teens, the group has honed its white knuckled assault down to 25 minutes of unrelenting musical psychosis while adding new dimensions of brutality to their now-trademark thrash attack. Throughout the album’s thirteen tracks, complex time changes invert riffs on their heads as layers of guitars trample each other before spreading out into electrified tendrils. Bassist Justin Pearson’s fuck fuzz-soaked bass and drummer Sal Gallegos’ unremitting percussive attack provide a manic backdrop to singer Wes Eisold’s frantic caged dog vocal assailments. In short, it’s a musical mindfuck. From the cannon shot intro of the album’s crushing opener “Beautiful Rune” to the death drone of its nine-minute closing suite “Deathwish,” Heaven’s Pregnant Teens is a document of five twisted musical minds making the most gloriously deranged noise producer Alex Newport (At The Drive In, The Locust, Sepultura) could commit to tape.
