Body Minus Head An Exercise in Self-Sufficiency LP

BODY MINUS HEAD hail from Kitchener, Ontario, and play a blend of hardcore and crust punk that is emotive and gnarly. On An Exercise in Self-Sufficiency, the first full-length by the band, you’ll find vocal blasts that give goosebumps, guitar licks that make you say “hell yeah,” and a rumbly rhythm section that gets your head nodding. The majority of the songs on this ten-track album are over in less than two minutes each, so you know BODY MINUS HEAD isn’t wasting time noodling around, and most of the songs hit so hard you may experience shellshock. Tracks like “Reset to Factory Default” and “Unconditional” are full-on sonic pummelings, while the lyrics speak truths about the failures of the human condition. If you’ve ever listened to MURDERESS’s The Last Thing You Will Ever See… and said to yourself, “This could be heavier and faster,” then you should absolutely check out BODY MINUS HEAD.
