Oh my gosh, why is it that sometimes the best bands have the shortest-lived careers?!? Pink Daffodils released one 3-song EP and then a follow-up single (literally a one-song CD) and then disappeared. Their style of female-fronted semi-melodic yet intensely screamy hardcore scratched my brain in very particular way. To this day, their Listless EP is one of my favorite and most unique hardcore releases ever. There was one more Pink Daffodils track, offered on the Trampled compilation from Boot to Head Records.
Hailing from Philadelphia, the band shared some members with punk mainstays One-21, but with a very different sound. I wish I knew more about this band, and even more so, I wish we had more than 5 songs from this amazing band.
“Listlessness” is the lead-off track from the 3-song Listless EP, originally released on SOFA Records in 1997. However, since the entire EP has been uploaded to YouTube, that’s what we have linked here. Enjoy!
