NEWS: Bodyweb flatline with deadwired!

Flatspot Records, the label home of such household names as Speed, Scowl and End It have announced the signing of Nu-Hardcore quintet Bodyweb for the release of EP “Deadwired” on 5th September. Originally starting out as a project between Louis Hardy (Higher Power, Big Cheese, Fate) and Ben Jones (Pest Control) the outfit have been through a number of iterations and now feature in their ranks estranged childhood friend, pq (Nihiloxica), Luke Thompson (Stiff Meds) on drums, hardcore archivist Tom Hobson (Dai Tan Films) on guitar, and Naomi Macleod (Empire State Bastard) on bass. Born out of the Leeds Hardcore scene, they’re being described as “the sound of someone’s nervous system on the verge of breakdown—hyperactive, tormented and unflinchingly vulnerable“. A music video for the EP title track is now streaming… or should that be screaming?

Hardy shares: “It’s about fading relationships, cutting people off, and seeking truth in a world of lies. Life is full of suffering, but being entirely blameless for your own suffering is a sure fire way to becoming disconnected from your own soul. It’s important to have faith in something.”

The band have a pair of shows lined up next month:

07/08 – London, UK – United & Strong Fest Pre-Show at Number 90 Live w/ Visibly High, Pest Control, Hitmen
29/08 – Bristol, UK – Cafe Kino
