I get flustered trying to come up with words to describe Problem Daughter to folks because they tend to escape all comparisons I can come up with. And then it flusters me even more because I know all my damn friends would fall in love with this band if I could only convince them to fuckin' listen!
Problem Daughter is one of the catchiest bands I've ever heard with some of the best damn musicianship you're ever gonna find. They're the kind of band you can tell is having as much fun playing their songs as you are singing along to 'em.
After how much I loved their last LP, I was kinda worried my expectations for this one couldn't possibly be met. Good news: I never had a damn thing to worry about! Every song has like five tempo changes but feels entirely cohesive. Every song has amazing vocal harmonies and gang vocals that feel expressly written for the purpose of singing along. Every song is gonna worm its way into your brain until it's all you can think about. The album's as near-perfect as an album can be.
I'm hashtag-blessed to live in an area they tour through because they're just as good live as they are on tape. To the two people who might actually read this far: Please fucking listen to this band and support them as best as you can. They should be the biggest band in the universe.
They're already the best one.
FFO: The Flatliners?? Direct Hit, I guess?? I dunno, they're in a league of their own.
