This was still <strong>Daughters<\/strong>, but coming to music with a new approach and one which comes with no preconceptions no bravado and no bullshit.<\/p>\n<p>Having returned to the UK with a run of sold out shows, <strong>Already Heard<\/strong> caught up with vocalist Alexis Marshall ahead of the bands set at <a href=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/arctangent-festival-2019\">ArcTanGent<\/a>, to see where <strong>Daughters<\/strong> are as a band a year on from the release of their fourth record. For the vocalist there is no real introspective look into the band&#8217;s music, they just want to put out music they feel passionate about and not follow a cookie-cutter mould.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;We are always progressively taking a step further and further away from where we were when we first started Daughters,&#8221;<\/em> Marshall explains.\u00a0<em>\u201cIn the earlier days, it would be safe to say that if you were a fan of The Locust, you\u2019d probably like Daughters, and even with &#8216;Hell Songs,&#8217; we wanted to move away from that but we got the \u2018oh they sound a bit more like Blood Brothers now\u2019 so we have always wanted to evolve our sound.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cFor me, we have always reinvented ourselves with every record, it is just more focused this time around because it is our first record in such a long time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Daughters &quot;The Reason They Hate Me&quot;\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cqa4_YuQQV8?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It is this type of open boundary approach to music which Marshall thinks should be more wildly accepted in the alternative world, in a bid to create communities of groups who think the same. And the vocalists said there is no inward reflection on the band, once their music is out into the world, they are proud of it and fully support it.\u00a0He added: <em>\u201cWe try not to get caught up and reading about ourselves.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWhat we can take advantage of is the opportunities and the attention that world of mouth or press brings to us, and we have been enjoying that a lot in the last year and it has put us in a situation where we can play all these incredible festivals around Europe.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThat being said, of course we are going to be working on a new Daughters record and it will be a culmination of all our influences, and it will be a record that we love. People may hate it, they may love it but it will still be a Daughters records.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>But Marshall does admit that this latest output from <strong>Daughters<\/strong> may be the most widely accessible form a consumer point of view, and consequently has put them in situations they didn\u2019t think they ever would be.\u00a0<em>\u201cOn this run, we\u2019ve been on we played Brutal Assault, which was full of death metal bands,\u201d<\/em> Marshall continues.<em> \u201cThen we played Off Festival in Poland where we were playing along the likes of Jarvis Cocker and Suede. Which don\u2019t get me wrong that is an incredible thing to say, but we were thinking why the hell we were there. But people came to watch us and enjoyed our set and that\u2019s what matters.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It is this new way of thinking and approach to the bands music which Marshall believes has put them in a position where they aren\u2019t pigeonholed and that is the way he wants to keep things.\u00a0With the likes of <strong>Daughters<\/strong>, Lingua Ignota, The Body and Full of Hell pushing genre boundaries and showing a more collective way of approaching music, the <strong>Daughters<\/strong> frontman said this is the way music should be consumed and approached.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWhy would you want to play on a bill where all the bands sound the same, just with their choruses and chord progressions in a different sequence?&#8221;<\/em> he suggests. <em>&#8220;Rather than be surrounded by bands that all sound the same. We want to exist outside these walls.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cAt the moment, our peer group is always looking at more than just putting out a record and touring that. And that is how we are looking to approach things with Daughters. I want to like bands where people are creating something unique and are not a clone of what the band that played before them were.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThat is what we want to create with Daughters, you don\u2019t need to dress a certain way or own a certain Black Flag record, you just need to enjoy the music.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>As on the nose as it is, <strong>Daughters<\/strong> are not about offering up what their fans want. they refuse to be pigeonholed and it appears they will continue to carve their own path and forge their future.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/21wg2jYkGO5RcnU2CV2a2s\" width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8216;You Won\u2019t Get What You Want&#8217;<\/em> by <strong>Daughters<\/strong> is out now on <strong>Ipecac Recordings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Daughters<\/strong> links: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/daughtersmusic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/daughters_band\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/daughters.official\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p><i>View more of\u00a0<b>Already Heard<\/b>\u2018s coverage of\u00a0<b>ArcTanGent Festival 2019<\/b>\u00a0can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/arctangent-festival-2019\/\">here<\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Words by Tim Birkbeck (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tim_birkbeck\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@tim_birkbeck<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As they refuse to be pigeonholed and carve their own path, we spoke to Daughters vocalist Alexis Marshall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":89114,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17427,45],"tags":[17516,17430,2144,1266,15023,17524],"class_list":["post-89023","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arctangent-2019","category-interviews","tag-alexis-marshall","tag-daughters","tag-interview","tag-ipecac-recordings","tag-tim-birkbeck","tag-you-wont-get-what-you-want"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
