Some Girls seems to be some kind of anti-hardcore project from California provocateur Justin Pearson of the Locust, Swing Kids and 31g records; it also features members of other bands you probably haven't heard of like Give Up the Ghost, American Nightmare, Unbroken, and Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower. Apropos of this new project, Pearson appears to have claimed that "hardcore is dead." Gee, thanks for sharing. All snideness aside, Pearson hasn't been in any bad bands yet, and I can't imagine why this would be the first.

There seems to be some confusion about who else is playing; Super Unison's website lists Knucklescraper (formerly Machine Gun Romantics) and sometimes Das Oath, but I'm pretty sure Inscrutable Vocabulary is playing because I'm in the band. Knucklescraper, which features Beau Beasley of local loud bands Insect Warfare, Race Against Time, Torches of Fury, Coffin Grinder and Calculus, shows deftly that Pearson is wrong and hardcore is very much alive, while Inscrutable Vocabulary features the crucialest riffs, the blastingest beats, the down-tunedest guitars and the sloppiest execution in town, as well as (seriously) the loudest singer anywhere. Das Oath is anyone's guess.
