The Body is two dudes from Providence, RI making some amazingly loud jams. Their face.to.the.floor breed of sludge-metal? is somewhat of a departure from most of the music so far featured on this blog. Brain piercing lobotomy sized shrieks and ribcage smashing instrumentals are not exactly on the same level as the whispery cuddlepop of Tokidoki’s “Cookie Cutter.” But, after their recent show in Brooklyn I struck up a conversation with Chip (right), where we talked about touring, luminous and phosphorescent beaches, Providence, technology, and probably some other stuff too. Turns out when i couldn’t find them for their park slope show in April it was because they totally got fucked by some dude they trusted to help them out and couldn’t play anyways cuz the cops shut the show down. I only mention this because I was pretty upset that i couldn’t find the place. I probably should have tried to interview them, but i just didnt realize that id end up talking to them for that long. Anyways, even though they make angry sounding, politically motivated, sure to break your speakers and headphones musics, it all comes from a genuine love of their community, good people, nature, and lots of other things. Don’t worry though they will still rock your basement to rubbles as you stand right there helpless with nothing to do except bang the shit out of your head as you go deaf.
