There aren’t a lot of punk bands that are as exciting as New York City trio Show Me The Body. The band have already released on song from their incredible new album Dog Whistle and today they’ve released a second called “Madonna Rocket.”
The video beings with silence and white text on a black background. The text reads:
CORPUS IS A COMMUNITY.
COMMUNITY BUILDING IS DIRECT ACTION.
CORPUS IS ABOUT MUTUAL RESPECT.
RESPECT BUILDS SOLIDARITY.
CORPUS IS BUILT ON HARD WORK AND PRACTICE.
INTELLECTUAL WARFARE IS MANDATORY.
INCREASING SELF DEFENSE AND AWARENESS IS PARAMOUNT.
CORPUS IS EMPOWERMENT AND BECOMING FREE.
The song kicks off with a pummeling double time verse that’s sure to incite some pretty vicious circle pit before veering into a shout-along chorus of “When I meet someone that’s good / I wanna die with them / Dead friends I still want to say goodbye to them.” The song is about celebrating those that have passed on and coping with their loss while building the community back up after they’re gone.
The video showcases two of the band’s most recent Corpus shows, one in Los Angeles and one in New York City. Corpus is the band’s genre-agnostic collective of like-minded artists, including Denzel Curry, Princess Nokia and Eartheater.
