The New York ecclesiastical hardcore trio, Show Me The Body, announces their North American headline Corpus Grows tour for this fall. The announcement comes on the heels of their recent role as the opening act for Knocked Loose on their extensive and completely sold out 31-city tour this past spring, which follows Show Me The Body’s acclaimed World War Tour last year.

Following a string of international festivals and shows this summer, their upcoming fall tour will kick off at the end of September and run through the start of November. With stops in various major cities across the country and festival performances at Louder Than Life, Furnace Fest, Aftershock, and VIVA PHX, Show Me The Body will culminate at the Knockdown Center in Queens for their largest hometown show to date. Show Me The Body will be supported by High Vis and BIB with additional support from Special Interest, ZelooperZ, Bearcat, and HiTech on select dates. Artist and local presale begins tomorrow, June 26th at 10am local time, and general on-sale is this Friday, June 28th at 10am local time. Tickets are available HERE

The tour is in partnership with CORPUS NYC, a mutual aid and creative collective that Show Me The Body created in 2015. The collective, which is now based in Queens, began organizing non-traditional, intentional DIY spaces for NYC youth and has grown to a global capacity through its urgent, ceremonial live shows, subterranean punk and hip-hop mixed tours, and the CORPUS NYC platform.

Formed in 2009, Show Me The Body consists of Julian Cashwan Pratt (founder; banjo and vocals), Harlan Steed (founder; bass), and Jackie McDermott (current drummer). Over the past 15 years, they have released several EPs and three full-length albums: Body War (2016), Dog Whistle (2019), and their latest album, Trouble The Water (2022). The 12-track album was recorded entirely at CORPUS Studios in Long Island City with Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Turnstile, Municipal Waste). 

Trouble The Water is a homage to the physical city and the New York Sound, encapsulating the people and subcultures that form the city’s true foundation. Through the intentional cultivation of their local and global chosen families and a decade-long dedication to sustaining the New York Sound, Show Me The Body has solidified a legacy of confronting and permanently shifting the rigid limitations of the hardcore genre.
