Show Me the Body

A New York-based hardcore trio who augment their minimal bass-and-drums assault with samples, electronic manipulation, and the occasional report of a banjo, Show Me the Body are musical activists, dedicated to protecting the people and culture of their community as well as the city's underground music scene. The hard impact of their music is paired with lyrics that speak out against political repression and the culture of hate. They released a series of critically acclaimed EPs and albums including 2016's full-length Body War, which netted them a deal with Loma Vista. After producing music for several other artists, they returned with 2019's socially conscious Dog Whistle, and added greater electronic textures on 2022's Trouble the Water. After documenting their onstage energy with 2023's Live & Loose in the USA, they issued a two-part mixtape, 2024's Corpus II, with six songs from the band and six collaborative tracks.
