Hardcore Act Show Me The Body Announce New EP; Share Street-Fighter Music Video “Survive”
New York trio Show Me The Body have officially announced their latest project since their 2019 album Dog Whistle. Out on March 19th, the group will be releasing their latest EP Survive via Loma Vista Recordings, and have shared the music video for its title track.
Shifting into rough, more sludge-based territory, the new single is a ferocious punk track that came after the group did some re-evaluation during lockdown.
During this isolation we had to recalibrate. Recalibrate both how we exist as a band and how we cultivate power within our community”, the group begins. “Our live performance is not just a moment for us, it’s our weapon, our language, and our ceremony. Without it, we had to reconfigure how we interact with our community. We established CORPUS headquarters. With our team, we started CORPUS Family, a branch of CORPUS focused on community initiatives; Burning World Book Club, a clothing drive, and a studio residency. We are preparing CORPUS Self-Defense initiatives as well as open jam sessions as soon as safety will allow for it. We built a studio in our headquarters. Survive is the first project to be written and recorded top to bottom in the CORPUS studio. The songs deal with spiritual and physical isolation, as well as staying ready and preparing for the next time we come together.”
Building off the initiative for self-defence, the music video features a group of somewhat choreographed self-defence practicing, soundtracked by the gritty guitars and vocals of the group, highlighted with an old-school, NYC proto-punk tenacity.
