the band performed a one off secret show at rhode island school of design in providence, where they played most of the songs from their upcoming album. this was the first and only time daughters played songs off their self-tiled album live before their reunion in 2013. despite the "break-up", daughters released their third album "daughters" on march 9, 2010 through hydra head. the band's management announced there would not be any tour in support of the album. looking back on the album sadler said "this album really caught up with us. people were getting a little older, the whole band was extremely poor from touring over the years, so life outside the band really caught up with us and it became hard to really do anything. i'm very proud of this record just because we were able to make it, you know? it was a real struggle."
