Soul Meets Body hailing from the DC/Bal-more scene liken themselves to PUP, Taking Back Sunday and Jeff Rosenstock which makes sense to me, but what I heard reminded more of The Max Levine Ensemble and even a touch of Operation: Cliff Clavin/Disarm/Devil Is Electric and maybe a touch of Run Rabbit Run or Escape from the Zoo. In other words it’s got the Folky pop punk emo sound that DC often generates, and I could see them being on Planet X records back in the day.
The song is super catchy and the lyrics are sad but tinged with hopeful honesty. As I’m listening to this, I’m either at a dope DIY basement show or at the Charm City Artspace (RIP) in Bal-more watching people go ape shit and sing along as if all the problems of their world have just stopped existing for the next 20 minutes.
I make it to DC a couple times a year now that I live in NY, and hopefully I’ll get to see them live one day soon. Maybe they’ll come up to the Hudson Valley? Kids here would dig this shit as much as I do.
Love the Frank Tuner shirt. Still trying to figure out what the square root of ANS is. Maybe someone will finally tell me one day.
