Read featureSorry About Your Daughter formed in Washington, D.C. in 1992, forging a signature sound of driving alternative rock, serrated guitars, and explosive post-hardcore dynamics. Across two defining ’90s albums, feature video rotation on MTV Europe, and a 30th anniversary return across Germany and the US in 2026, the band remains raw, loud, and uncompromising.
The band broke out with their 1995 debut full-length Aquarium Center, followed by 1996's acclaimed Face. Fueled by heavy regional touring, national college radio play, and video rotation on MTV Europe, SAYD took their high-octane live show across the Atlantic for a landmark 1996 German club tour before stepping back from the road.
In 2019, the original four-piece reunited for a sold-out hometown performance in Maryland. The overwhelming fan response led the band into the archives to release AFTERBIRTH, a four-song EP of unreleased studio material tracked during the 1996 Face sessions, praised by Static City Weekly as “a cathartic gut-punch.”
Thirty years after Face, Sorry About Your Daughter mounted the Atlantic to Adrenaline: Anniversary Tour in summer 2026. The run brought the band back to Europe for eight club dates across Germany — drawing ecstatic crowds and critical praise in Berlin, Sonthofen, Hamburg, and Düsseldorf — before culminating in a sold-out finale on August 28, 2026 at Reckless Shepherd in Columbia, MD.
