This band’s pulse never learned to calm down. Led by songwriter Sebastian Felipé (Seb), the Seattle band threads surfy garage-leaning guitars, crooked charm, and a hit-of-now immediacy into something loud, alive, and impossible to ignore.

The band formed easily, as friends. Michelle taught Seb how to sing. Brennan’s been a brother in music for years. And Christopher, the guitarist , locked into the vision early, shared Seb’s fixation on grit, electricity, and garage rock, became the band’s compass. Jacob, already one of the scene’s most trusted drummers, stepped in because he knew exactly how it should hit.

They came up in the same Seattle grind and wanted a band that didn’t wait for permission. That feeling showed itself fast after a legendary Too Easy EP release show, early rehearsals that clicked too easily, and the sense they’d all been heading here all along.

Savage Daughters

SLC Dark Stoner Alternative On the surface, Savage Daughters’ sound is fairly straightforward. The trio references storied genres like shoegaze, garage rock and dream pop as influences, and the sound of those styles is easily heard in the brittle guitar tones and straight-ahead rhythms of their tracks. The longer you listen, however, the weirder things get. There’s little, if any, conventional structure to these tracks, many of them full of winding changes and unexpected transitions. On Savage Daughters’ astounding new song, “420 to SLC,” the trio of Summer Sigritz and Alex and Tut Lopez envelops themselves in a fog that shrouds the intersection of fear, pain and ecstasy. Across the song’s runtime, the group rev up and down between tight-knit punk aggression and lead-heavy slow burns, uniting these disparate parts with a web of pinging guitar effects and sludgy reverb. As “420 to SLC” explodes into its final peak, a delirious combination of the song’s electrifying shouted refrain and a stone-faced, spoken word background vocal implodes distant antonyms into a shining, swirling cloud. Loud is soft, fast is slow, anger is happiness—Savage Daughters create music that gargles paradox and spits out self-shaped magic. –SLUG Magazine
