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.

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.
