  • Bio

    After much deliberation, we have decided to hang up our patch cords. We've had the pleasure of working with amazing people, and the opportunity to share the stage with talented musicians. Thanks to everyone who offered us support, came to our shows, or helped carry equipment. This farewell is nowhere near as epic as when Linda Hamilton lowers the terminator into a pit of molten metal at the end of T2, but it is a farewell nonetheless. On Bodies 2005-2010 .. .. .. .... .... ********* .... ........The After EP.. is now available through online donation, just click RIGHT HERE.. .... .... ********* .... .. .. ..

"Fine vocal harmonies and a synth line that nags harder than MGMT at the races complement this track from Montreal trio On Bodies." .. - Henry Barnes, ..guardian.co.uk.. (on "Tables and Chairs"). .. .. "Their music [has] matured into the soulful mix of dark and danceable synth-pop present on The After EP, which even still is nothing compared to what they can do with a live show." .. - Peter Knegt, ..Indiewire.com .. .. .. "The fact that none of the band members play guitar as their primary instrument is something not many bands are willing to do; On Bodies have done it with skill and grace on this debut. The rest of the EP is something special but for me to sit and describe it wouldn't do it enough justice...I don't know if there is a full-length LP in the works but I hope there is because I want more!" .. - Nathan Allen, ..Fazer Magazine.. .. .. "…a reflection on what voice means to us." .. - Jeremy Morris, ..Midnightpoutine.. .. .. "Takes issues of representation and identity and transforms them into music." .. - Jeffrey Mackie, The Friday Morning After, ..CKUT FM.. .. .... ********* .... .. Together, this tight triad plays an angular mix of post-punk and dark pop that is as much about the body as it is the soul. On Bodies played their first show in Montreal in October of 2006. Having grown up on a diet of 90's alternative and punk, the members cite a cross-section of musical influences: Joy Division, Sleater-Kinney, PJ Harvey, Cat Power, and Diamanda Galás. On Bodies released their debut album, ..The After EP.., in the summer of 2009. Produced and recorded by Martin Horn at Digital Bird Studios, the 6 songs on this recording are about invisible moments, erased tapes and faded pictures. ..The After EP.. examines the altered spaces that immediately follow an event or an instant, where we are left to consider what remains and ponder that which came before. Notions of identity and displacement are recurring themes for the band, but despite the heaviness of the lyrics the music is not gloom and doom. ..The After EP.. offers a serious mix of danceable rock and rumbling epic ballads, and is also the aftermath of the past four years in which On Bodies discovered all of its parts and what makes its heart beat. .. .. .. .. ..
