Formed in 2014, Boss’ Daughter is one of the hardest working bands in the underground punk scene. They’ve played over 500 shows across seven countries, with major headlining and underground acts like Rise Against, Pennywise, Jeff Rosenstock, The Ataris, PEARS, Bridge City Sinners, Bad Cop/Bad Cop, and many more.
Simmering in punk, they create their own undefinable sound with harmonizing gang vocals, haunted screams, catchy melodies, and a thrashing, crusty edge, all topped with a sprinkling of horns. One thing’s for sure, Boss’ Daughter is on a mission to make sure everyone is having a good time.
The group started as Fox’s solo project but quickly blossomed into a trio-with Chris Fox, Danny Paul, and Jamie Locks, while occasionally featuring John Underwood on horns (2016-2019). They released their debut album, Songs Are Songs, in 2015 and followed up with 2016’s Sleep EP.
For the next couple of years the band constantly toured, playing everywhere from bars to large venues and festivals including Montreal’s Pouzza Fest, Ironfest, and Florida’s The Fest, which they’ve played the past five years in a row. The boys have also appeared on Bridge City Sessions and Reno’s own, Worst Little Podcast.
Releases over the next handful of years include three 7" records, 2019's Ace of BAC/DC b/w Built Up To This, 2021's Old Friends four-way split 7" on Iron Fest Records, and 2022's Okay Photography on SBÄM Records.
In February of 2023, Boss' Daughter released BOUTS WITH BUMMERS, 16 blazing tracks of pure punk rock that finds the band a little older and wiser but still fueled by their “maximum party time” mantra. Recorded at Pus Cavern by Joe Johnston (Cake, Cobra Skulls) and mastered at Atomic Garden Recording by Jack Shirley (Jeff Rosenstock, Deafheaven), "Bouts" covers the challenges of today’s complex world–climate change, social media overload, loneliness–with their signature upbeat, fast paced sound.
The first single from the album, “Photography,” has received airplay on Sirius XM’s Faction Punk.
