New Entry: Public Body Reveal New Single "Reset My Password"

Brighton post punk/alt band Public Body have revealed their new single "Reset My Password".

The song is taken from their upcoming debut EP 'Flavour of Labour', which will be out 4th March via Six Tonnes De Chair Records. Get it here.

Speaking about it frontman Seb Gilmore says: "At the height of Covid, everyone was clapping for NHS staff and key workers… and that got me thinking what my place is in all this mess. I then logged onto my work computer and was advised by a popup that it was time to reset my password. So I wrote a song about how pointless and useless my job is to the world when everything felt like it was breaking and seemed apocalyptic."

New Entry: Public Body Premiere New Single "Hard to Concentrate"

Brighton post punk/alt band Public Body have premiered their new single "Hard to Concentrate".

The song is taken from their upcoming debut EP 'Flavour of Labour', which will be out in next year via Six Tonnes De Chair Records. Get it here.

Speaking about it frontman Seb Gilmore says: “This song was written back when I was in my old job which was in an open plan office. The canteen was on the top floor and also had a balcony that I’d sit on to eat lunch.”

“I’d always end up eating too much – I’m an emotional eater – and then subsequently suffer a carb crash while sitting at the computer doing the most repetitive job, trying to not fall asleep. I miss it to be honest, the balcony, not the job.”

New Entry: Public Body Unveil New Single "Formica"

Brighton post punk/alt band Public Body have unveiled their new single "Formica".

The song is taken from their upcoming debut EP 'Flavour of Labour', set to arrive on 3rd December. Get it here.

Speaking about it frontman Seb Gilmore says: “This song is about a Twitter Dad, a man who tweets financial and life advice: ‘If you’re not thinking about INVESTING, CRYPTO, MAKING MONEY you’re doing it wrong.’ But how do you invest if you have no money? This song is about a poor ignorant Dad who gets tricked by a Troll on Twitter, he believes everything the Twitter Dad had to say, this included taking out loans with high APR and interest rates and in turn gets his home and car repossessed by the bank.”

New Entry: Public Body Premiere New Single "Table Manners"

Brighton post punk/alt band Public Body have premiered their new single "Table Manners".

The song is out today (November 12). Get it here.

“When I was writing the synth bits I was picturing the Rugrats song and I guess that was probably the biggest influence musically,” says frontman Seb Gilmore.

Graphic designer and artist Emil Mniszko, who created the “Table Manners” artwork, adds this: “You are sitting in the lobby, a ghostly jingle drifts through the airwaves while a mute screen shows familiar suited men seated around a large circular table. The calendar says 2020, but that can’t be right. Memories of an information age fall away as the spectres of a forgotten future pass into you.”

New Entry: Public Body Premiere New Single "Ask Me Later"

Brighton post punk/alt band Public Body have revealed their new single "Ask Me Later".

The song, produced by the band’s guitarist Theo Verney, is out now. Get it here.

UPDATE 31/08/2020: "Ask Me Later" is our new Single of the Week!

“Labour-oppressive wellness initiatives; machinic lubricants. Half a decade of unprocessed bitterness, constricted by social norms as corporate structures. The Program fails through successive firmware updates while, in the background, slideshow graphics show that rage tends towards infinity. The face of a destabilised workforce in a society that secretes symbolic concessions as a defence reflex against meaningful change. Your positive attitude is keeping us all in line.” - Emil Mniszko

New Entry: Public Body Reveal New Single "Naughty On My Bike"

Brighton post punk/alt band Public Body have revealed their new single "Naughty On My Bike".

The song will be out today (April 9) through Republic Of Music. Get it here.

The band's words: "Naughty On My Bike, is a song dedicated to the humble bicycle. It openly criticises the public transport system as being over priced and sluggish. Walking, being the green option, is slower still. In cycling we find balance between speed and convenience."
