Body Shop, Genre is Death (NY), King Sans, AAAYYYAAA

MIDWEST INDUSTRIAL

Gothic noisepunk from the shadows of Chicago:

Always putting on a show to remember, as King Sans, Iz and Jake deliver chaotic energy with melancholic lulls, to create a night as dynamic as each day itself.

"Genre Is Death destroy limitation....Their minimalist sound, presentation and performance rather than acting as a typecasting influence, provides an expansive backdrop from which their connection with each other can be fully explored...Connection isn't a one dimensional concept to Varesi and Lee. Intricate guitar/bass lines and vocal call/response give way on many occasions to menacing wall of sound moments that evoke early . More rhythmically open passages bring about a playfulness reminiscent of performances. Genre Is Death make connection captivating. They induce audiences to mosh, make-out or watch in rapt attention as they perform their art without clenching a muscle." Insecurity Hits

When you hear trembling guitar, charged bass lines, siren-like synths, and throbbing drum machines, you’re listening to Body Shop. The Chicago outfit, composed of songwriters Kit Dee, Sam Crow, and Lou Larsen, is on a mission to radicalize through inoculation. To the uninitiated, they’re just a band. To those in the know, Body Shop is a manifesto. They honor their disco-punk predecessors by offering up tracks that fuse and transcend.

Body Shop redefines the very meaning of its name. In a world dominated by fiscal greed and sexual repression, Body Shop fights back with biting wit and precise sonic warfare. For Body Shop, making music isn’t about building a bomb shelter, it’s about creating an immune system, one that heals the body and soul. Total liberation is the goal.
