Show Me The Body (SMTB), a New York City-based band formed in 2009, is a force of nature in the hardcore and noise music scene. They started out independently, releasing "Yellow Kidney" and the "SMTB" EP in 2015. Their debut album, "Body War," came out in 2016 after they signed with Loma Vista, leading to extensive tours across the US and Europe.
After their tour, the band focused on a collaborative mixtape, "Corpus 1," in 2017. This project brought together a diverse group of artists and friends, solidifying the beginning of the Corpus community effort. That same year, they released the two-song EP "Challenge Coin," which was recorded at Electric Lady Land. Between 2018 and early 2019, SMTB produced and released three projects through Corpus: "Grudge 2" by Dreamcrusher, "Machines Smoke" by Tripp Jones, and "Enemy" by Dog Breath.
In 2019, SMTB released their second album, "Dog Whistle," which was produced by Chris Coady, Show Me The Body, and their original drummer, Gabriel Millman. The album was written in Long Island City, Queens, and recorded in Los Angeles in the summer of 2018.
"Sabotage" is a collaboration with Popular Front, a media organization known for its investigative journalism on conflicts and military history. The track is a powerful blend of SMTB's intense, industrial-tinged hardcore and the raw, confrontational themes often explored by Popular Front. The song's title and aggressive sound perfectly reflect the shared spirit of rebellion and opposition that both groups represent.
