a new release by on bodies. i bought their 'the long con' ten inch release last year on a whim and was very pleasantly surprised that their material really raged through the twelve minutes of its duration. great fast, at times melodic and always political hardcore punk with former culture and morning again member damien moyal on vocals. so of course i was pretty curious about this new 7" by the band.
it is a very good release after all. just like 'the long con' it's that same recipe they used before. it's fast, it's angry, it's melodic and it makes that type of political hardcore decent again. i am thinking a lot of verse when listening to on bodies. check out the song 'prevail' and tell me you can sit still when listening to that cracker. only downer is that 'unremarkably mortal' is too short. give me a full length, dudes!
the initial release passed my by a little, it was through the per koro newsletter that i heard word of this 7". so i headed over to my favourite distro and, together with another hardcore heavyweight release, i ordered it straight away. irish voodoo released this slab of wax. there is a shop exclusive black and yellow mix vinyl out of 110 copies and my opaque yellow distro vinyl version out of 550 copies. irish voodoo records. 2015.
