Show Me the Body
UW Union South-The Sett 1308 W. Dayton St., Madison, Wisconsin 53706
New York City’s Show Me the Body is known for melding noise, hardcore and punk, and their latest release, Dog Whistle, is no exception. It’s rife with frustration and disenchantment on songs like “Badge Grabber,” but on songs like “Madonna Rocket,” there’s an underlying longing for connection and community. Album opener “Camp Orchestra,” inspired by the band’s trip to Auschwitz, starts out steady and melodic, lulling you into a sense of security. Then the distortion kicks in and frontman Julian Cashwan Pratt growls the refrain, “No work will set you free.”
