Body Horror met by chance when three members happened to move into the same Tottenham warehouse in 2016. Bonded by a passion for not sleeping and getting weird at techno parties, the post-punk songs they’d been writing gradually took more and more influence from raves.

Before long they’d picked up a drum machine and a couple of synths and were pairing industrial beats and sequenced synths with sharp guitars, demented themes and feral vocal hooks. Body Horror found themselves at a crossroad between The Prodigy and The Birthday Party, and having released a few singles we’ll soon see their first proper release with a self-titled EP in 2025.

This melding of the aforementioned Post-Punk influences, with Techno-inspired beats and the rap-adjacent lyrical style hits hard and feels as fresh as anything else around right now, the band having formed a cult-following around London for their pumping live shows. They’ve had their praises sung on the radio waves too; legendary BBC Radio 6 presenter Steve Lamacq describing them as "Dealing in a hard, electro based type of rhythmical post punk, a type of savage New Order soundtrack overlayed by an unrepentant snarl”.
