Show Me The Body – “Eat For Peace”

“Radical love compels me to fight.” That’s the credo Show Me The Body frontman Julian Cashwan Pratt puts at the center of “Eat For Peace,” the opening track from the band’s upcoming album Alone Together. More a declaration of intent than a song, its bristling, straightforward punk lands like a rebuttal to cynicism — a reminder that protecting the people you love can be a political act.

The video for “Eat For Peace” was filmed during the group’s weekly CORPUS Self Defense Training sessions at McCarren Park in Brooklyn. Held every Sunday through the summer, the open workshops blur the line between music and mutual aid, giving a physical dimension to the song’s message. It’s a natural extension for a band that has always treated its community and its music as inseparable.

Produced with Kenneth Blume and Klas Åhlund (who promptly went on to record the upcoming Weezer album), the track sheds some of the band’s more abrasive textures in favor of clarity. Pratt’s barked vocals cut through direct, almost anthemic guitars — a shift that doesn’t soften the band’s stance but sharpens it.

Alongside the single, Show Me The Body announced a tour that continues their tradition of dangerously strong support bills: Bangkok hardcore outfit Whispers, Baltimore speed demons Jivebomb, and metallic screamo revivalists Holder share most dates, with Lip Critic joining for Philadelphia and New York. The NYC show, notably, marks Webster Hall’s first no-barrier set in over a decade. For a band that thrives on closing the gap between stage and floor, it feels like the only fitting setup.
