Full Body
‘Always There’
Five Kill
Records
After four years
together and a recent personnel change, local quartet Full Body is about to release
its third studio album. Recorded mostly at Headroom Studios in Philadelphia, “Always
There” delivers a sludgy mix of hardcore, grunge, slowcore, and shoegaze. Lead
singer Dylan Vaisey’s vocals cut through the blistering mix with clarity on “Small
Voice (Still).” “Looked at The Picture” and “Bad
Screen” offer upbeat, danceable grooves, while slower, more reflective
tunes such as “Hard Drive” and the title track dive into dreamy,
modal chord structures that finally explode into heavy breakdowns. Full Body’s
new album “Always There” is full of epic head-bangers with crashing
drums and heart-wrenching melodies.
Full Body will
perform its record release show with special guests Peaer and Rut on Monday,
October 21, at Small World Books, 425 North Street. $5-10 suggested donation.
