on bodies is a band from the states that i never heard anything before i bought this release and ever since. i was browsing through the hardcore racks at burnout records and came across this album accidentally. i pulled it out of the racks out of curiosity concerning the front cover. as i took a more thoroughly look at the packaging, i recognised a band member wearing a foundation shirt. i listened to 'when the smoke clears' alot at that time and so i sat down to the next turntable.
as soon as the first tunes from the vinyl through the headphones reached my hearing apparatus, i was sold. this is fast, angry and pissed off hardcore with a strong political message. good in my book. foremost western governments and organised religion and their strategy of keeping people in line to maintain power and money flow are crossing the lyrical firing line of on bodies. check out 'we carrion' and 'comes from money'.
the ep was released in 2013 by german label coffebreath and heartache. they were unknown to me until then. checking their releases, the majority of their stuff is still unknown to me. only hot water music and iron chic ring a bell. but still just a tiny bell. whatever, this release looks superb. a marble silver, one sided 12" vinyl platter with a killer b-side screening. 'the long con' got its first u.s. release this year. a 10" by irish voodoo records. 200 copies of this version made. coffeebreath and heartache. 2013.
