Show Me The Body return with new song ‘Dance In The USA’

New York hardcore genre mixers Show Me The Body have returned with new music in ‘Dance In The USA’. he song arrives as the band has been hinting at the release of their 4th studio album, an anticipated follow-up to 2022’s celebrated Trouble The Water.

The single was produced by the odd couple duo of Klas Åhlund (Robyn, Ghost) and Kenneth Blume III (Geese, Fcukers), who were introduced to one another by the band for sessions last year at Blume’s Southern California studio Putnam Hill.

“‘Dance In The USA’ is about how we implore style to survive in this reality. It’s how we embrace the struggle of ourselves, our family’s, and those around you. It’s the dance that we all do – how we hustle, the good and the bad things we do – just to get through it.” – Julian Cashwan Pratt

Ahead of the single, Show Me the Body’s Julian Cashwan Pratt launched a series of conversations in which he speaks with “a few of my best friends, creative peers, and mentors about life, loss, family, community, art, and praxis.” The series is called “Alone Together” and was directed by Nicolas Heller (New York Nico). Episodes 1 & 2 with Dracula O. / Chi and Kasie Kirkland AKA Yung Mayne, respectively, are now available on the Show Me the Body YouTube page and Spotify. 

The band heads out on a West Coast North American tour around their performance at Kilby Block Party next month that will see them hit 8 cities with support from Provoker, Ingrow, Clique, and Dry Socket. Later in the summer, the band will make the rounds in the UK and Europe, playing select festival dates and supporting Deafheaven on a run of shows as well.
