Nu-hardcore quintet, Bodyweb, are the sound of someones nervous system on the verge of breakdownhyperactive, tormented and unflinchingly vulnerable. Born out of the Leeds hardcore scene, theyre a shape-shifting alloy of jagged emotion and precision chaos.

What began as late-night jams between Louis Hardy (Higher Power, Big Cheese, Fate) and Ben Jones (Pest Control) eventually mutated into train_wreck_simulation, a debut EP filled with frantic breakdowns and nu-metal swag that felt like the soundtrack to a digital exorcism. The final piece of the puzzle came from Hardys estranged childhood friend, pq. His twisted samples and synthetic textures are haunted and disturbed, injecting cyberpunk soul into hardcore flesh. Contorting through several iterations in the following years, the band absorbed Luke Thompson (Stiff Meds) on drums, filmmaker Tom Hobson on guitar and Naomi Macleod (Empire State Bastard) on bass, and laid down their first collective offering.

deadwired is due out on Flatspot Records later this year. Bodyweb’s second EP is a violent thesis on connection and pain that sends Hardys unfiltered vocals through heaven and hell. Four overstimulating tracks run a gamut of styles and influences from Slipknot to Bjrk, constantly lane-switching between dizzying heaviness, ambient soundscapes and brain-burrowing hooks. Entirely self-produced, deadwired upgrades the sonic formula laid down on the last record and raises the question: what else could exist in Bodywebs twisted roadmap? Nothing seems impossible. What seems important, however, is retaining the rawness in a style that can often turn sterile.

We still wanted it to sound very human. It had to be well produced but not cold and lifeless. shares Hardy. We didnt use a click track. All guitars were real amps with microphones. We tried to make everything as real and raw as possible, we recorded using all the same gear we use when playing live too to really capture the energy of how it feels when we jam together.”

On stage, Bodyweb dont just perform, they purge. Raucous live electronics meld with digitally contorted guitars. Breakbeats meet breakdownsno backing track in sight. Bodyweb enable a collective catharsis. Mosh, dance, dive, scream, heal. A physical therapy session screamed into the void.
