Dope Body – “Youth Relic”

Baltimore band Dope Body drops a new music video for a track off their latest EP, which you can check a review for below. The video here features footage of the band being mimicked very loosely by a group of girls and one feisty, young kid as the frontman. Enjoy!

Dope Body – Saturday

The recording quality on Dope Body’s new 7″ EP might not be the best, but more nasty, sludgy psych rock is just what the doctor ordered.

Dope Body – “Leather Head”

Baltimore band Dope Body drops a new track and video titled “Leather Head.” The track comes from the band’s new 7″ EP on Drag City. The title: Saturday. The track brings the band’s usual combo of psych rock, punk, and sludge; however, the party attitude that I enjoyed so much on their last full-length seems to be swapped out for something a little darker.

Check a review of the band’s last full-length right here:

MP3

Dope Body drops yet another track from its forthcoming LP, Natural History.

“Weird Mirror” is a fantastic piece of subtly reverbed punk-effing-rock. No prisoners. Break a sweat. Put someone in a headlock. The riff on this thing has an incredible amount of force behind it. The drums hit hard, and the vocals are enthralling as well. Everything about this song says, “Hey, lose control! Get lose. If you break something, whatever.”

Hear another track from this album, which I put on the Loved List earlier this month. Look for this album via Drag City on May 22nd.
