SHOW ME THE BODY – NYC’s Cast-Iron Trio ‘DANCE IN THE USA’

Posted on by JL

Vitalizing tunes that work faster than a stream of caffeine

28 April 2026

New York‘s cast-iron trio SHOW ME THE BODY have released
their first new music of 2026 with hammer and tongs haymaker
DANCE IN THE USA .

No sign yet of a 4th longplayer. Their last one
Trouble The Water came out in 2022.

Julian Cashwan Pratt (frontman): “The song is about how we implore style
to survive in this reality. It’s how we embrace the struggle of ourselves, our family’s,
and those around you. It’s the dance that we all do – how we hustle, the good
and the bad things we do – just to get through it.”

[Verse 1]
If there ain’t no heaven, this is hell on earth
You can tell me ways, but only mine will work
Hundred days a week, they playing their tricks on you
It’s a fools’ game, but I ain’t one to lose

[Chorus]
Dance in the USA
Dance for the dues paid
Dance in the USA
Dance in the USA

[Post-Chorus]
Sun shines in hell, sun shines in the city
Sun shines in the USA
Sun shines in hell, sun shines in the city
Yeah

[Verse 2]
You’re either getting fucked or you’re doing some fucking too
Time to choose
Better move quick now, baby, junkie’s gotta shoot
It’s a fools’ game, but I ain’t one to lose

TUTV: May the body force be with you, America.
Start dancing, it’s time for a big change, people.

Artist: JANE INC.
Who: Toronto-based
songstress.

Track: WHAT IF
Piece from her upcoming 3rd full-length, called
A Rupture A Canyon A Birth, out October 17th.

The song is inspired by the moment that a semi truck plowed into their broken-down tour van. Nobody in the Jane Inc. touring party was hurt in that accident, and they even played their scheduled show later that night. But everyone could’ve easily been killed, and that kind of near-death experience will do something to you. That’s the key to what if.

TUTV: Bumping EBM thrumming, shimmering synths, trippy piano touches,
and vocal outpouring. Donna Summer would like this stomper. Dress up
and hurry to the discotheque.

Band: DUST
Who: Up-and-coming
Australian post-punk act.

Track: RESTLESS
Cut from their forthcoming debut album, named

SHOW ME THE BODY With Sturm Und Drang On New Longplayer ‘TROUBLE THE WATER’

Posted on by JL

Standout longplayers

29 October 2022

Band: SHOW ME THE BODY
Who: Hardcore squad from New York
Active: Since 2009 / 3 studio LPs (new one included)

New album: TROUBLE THE WATER
Released: 28 October 2022 / Order info: here

The Guardian: “Homage to band’s native New York welds subgenres from hardcore
to hip-hop in a cathartic release from volatile times…Shivering with tension, Trouble
The Water is an exciting and urgent call to come together and kick off – at once
a reflection of, and a cathartic release from, volatile times.”

TUTV: This dragon has several heads. A hardcore one, a metal hip-hop one,
a crossover one, a post-punk one and a melting noise pot one. The tone is
vicious, the sentiments are fired-up, the big picture is one of rebelling against
all sorts of evil that fucks up this planet. A long battle, but we have no choice.

Singles/clips: WW4 / Loose Talk / We Came To Play

Concrete Hardcore Trio SHOW ME THE BODY Came To Play Their Big Bang Way

Posted on by JL

New striking strokes

15 September 2022

Band: SHOW ME THE BODY
Who: Hardcore punks from NYC
Active: Since 2009
Albums (so far): Body War (2015) and Dog Whistle (2019)

New album: TROUBLE THE WATER
Release: 28 October 2022 – pre-order info via Loma Vista

“Trouble the Water’ is the culmination of nearly a decade of barrelling against
New York City’s structural ambivalence and indifference; an invocation to a like-
minded global community to consider the alchemy of family-building, and of
turning water to blood.”

New Single: WE CAME TO PLAY

About: “Although the title invokes the ancient alchemy Moses wielded to free and unite
Israelite peoples, ‘Trouble The Water’ refuses nostalgia or mimicry. Instead, it considers
the sublime power of the unifying physical practices that can be enacted daily, to invoke immeasurable spiritual and collective reactions.

Buoyed by moments of stinging stillness and compulsive, almost optimistic, malfunctioning rhythms, the work is literally a conjuration to dance, and move. If we are really living through the end of the world, maybe every movement we make, no matter how slight, is actually boundless and radical.”

SMTB definitely came to play
in their big bang way.
