Dope fucking Body.
This is the best band I have heard come out of Baltimore in an extremely long time. My hope is that tubes on their amps will explode mid-set and shoot a flaming rocket of ampere-infused aggression that burns Wham City to the fucking ground.
You can philosophize on this band to the fucking pit, early dischord meets lightning bolt meets no wave meets fuck all, but it doesn’t matter. Plainly put, this band is GOOD. Damn good. My only fear is that they are too good, and by the time I get to see them I’m swimming in a sea of art students, drinking their sweat and eating their sweat-seasoned bandanas.
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR, if you like real music, they are offering the album on free download: http://www.wtrclr.com/albums/DOPE_BODY_Twenty_Pound_Brick.zip
And if you enjoy it, don’t be a dick, pay $8 and order a fucking tape. Wahhh wahh, but Rowen, I don’t have a tape player, wahhhhh. It’s about supporting the artists you ignorant twit. If you show me the paypal receipt I will mail you a box of Kleenex so you can wipe your tears. You all paid at LEAST $8 to the multi-zillion dollar corporation of Apple just to listen to some boring bullshit at work - so you can spare another $8 for a band that is trying to do something honest in a scene of utter bullshit.
