Daddy's Boy: Great News! 12"
âQuestionably a hardcore bandâ is how Daddyâs Boy describe themselves, and one listen to their discombobulatingly brilliant debut LP should answer all your questions as to what that could possibly mean. Recorded with Steve Albini at Electrical Audio, GREAT NEWS! is the sound of punk folding in on itself and racing through sounds you might have previously identified with dumb genre tags like post-punk and possibly even no-wave - except this isnât either of those things. It rages smartly and discordantly across a wide terrain of undulating rhythms and coruscating rifferema, eventually settling on something thatâs⊠well, kinda uniquely Daddyâs Boy.
So what makes this sound? Specifically, four humans who are too clever to simply follow the âthree chords, now form a bandâ template without trying to fuck up the corners (and work their way into the centre). Members of Split Feet, Retreaters and Fake Limbs pile up together to create this delicious cacophony, and youâll be glad they did. When vocalist Jes Skolnik intones, âIâm so fucking important,â you know itâs drenched in venomous irony, but itâs difficult not to agree: GREAT NEWS! feels like a record thatâll last way beyond those âbest of the yearâ lists and continue to pulverise your eardrums for years to come.
Itâs the sort of record that felt like the future when Touch & Go Records pushed hardcore past its knuckleheaded limitations 40 years ago, and still feels like no one ever really caught up. Itâs the riffs from Cowsâ Cunning Stunts, cribbing notes from Crassâ Feeding Of The 5,000, with vocal delivery pitched to âgloriously matter-of-factâ. Oh, and no spoilers, but in Skolnik, Daddyâs Boy might just have one of the smartest lyricists in (questionable) hardcore right now. Mark my words, this is some record.
