History

After recording two EPs, they released their debut full length in 2003. Entitled All My Friends Are Going Death, it compiled the material from their two previous releases along with demos and new material. In 2005, they released The DNA Will Have Its Say, an EP, on bassist Justin Pearson's record label, Three One G Records. Karen O of the band Yeah Yeah Yeahs performed guest vocals on the title track. In January 2006, they released a second full length, Heaven's Pregnant Teens, on the well-known punk label Epitaph Records. The group covered "Religion II" by Public Image Ltd..

Justin Pearson indicated that Some Girls saw the bands Daughters, The Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower, Year Future, Moving Units, Cattle Decapitation, Rah Bras, and The Blood Brothers as related in style.

Their breakup was announced in a Punknews article, published October 23, 2007. The band's former label, "Deathwish Inc." went on to confirm this announcement by posting that Some Girls had "called it a day." From Deathwish Inc.'s official website:

Word from various members of Some Girls is that they have officially and quietly put the band to rest.

Some Girls released music on Deathwish, 31G, and lastly Epitaph Records. The band also toured with the likes of Daughters, The Locust, Converge, and many more during their short life.
