If you are a fan

Heavily influenced by the showman funk of James Brown (whose “I Can’t Stand Myself” the band had covered on No New York) Contortions coined a downtown dance-punk sound that had immediate influence on subsequent No Wave bands—including Place’s Bush Tetras and Bronx trio ESG—as well as the burgeoning disco movement

Raw overblown sound quality and stripped back takes on the songs offer a deconstructed immediacy impossible to conjure in the formal confines of a recording studio

DAUGHTERS - Canada Songs LP proto-punk released in 2016 / 2017A high point of the spazzy hardcore canon on par with The Locust. Canada Songs is a batshit assault of angular song structures, No Wave ish guitar skronk, and percussive battery from almost start to finish. While Daughters lack the sheer Dadaist lunacy of The Locust (mostly down to the lack of keyboards), they make up for it with greater dynamic range and oddball guitar riffs more akin to U. S. Maple and the score to Psycho than anything Metal
