Show Me the Body

"Calling something 'progressive' can sometimes be a reductive term. Its a go-to tag for music that meanders, for instance. And its often a default phrase for anything remotely uncool, in the most cynical sense. The truth is, Queens/Western Massachusetts group Show Me The Body are ruthlessly cool. They progress, too. Snapping hardcore in half and giving punk a dose of new meds, their brutally raw form (on record and on stage) is a different kind of rush. As part of Ratkings Letter Racer collective, they're in the perfect place to continue progressing, all while putting a spin on that old term." - DIY.

Show Me the Body is immediate and raw, powerful and inspiring, efusive and unrelenting. They're like no other band on the scene, combining disparate elements of punk and hardcore, hip-hop and electronic music, folk and indie-rock... But this is not a pastiche or a tastless menagerie. Their sound is a deep synthesis, entirely new or their own. This is a band that has somehow shared the stage with BADBADBNOTGOOD, Ghostface Killah, Antwon, Trash Talk, Wiki, and Health, and never felt out of place...
