Best of Budapest & Hungary

The New York post-hardcore trio will release their fourth full-length album, Alone Together, in July, and will present the new material to the Hungarian audience shortly after on August 17 at Turbina Cultural Center.

    Show Me The Body are a New York-based post-hardcore band who have been active since 2009. So far, the trio have released three full-length albums, drawing inspiration from hip hop, noise music and sludge metal throughout their songs. Most recently, the band released a mixtape titled CORPUS II in 2024, but returned with a brand new track this April. The crushing Dance In The USA serves as the first taste of their upcoming album Alone Together, arriving on July 10.

    Alone Together is an album about turning belief into action. Its opening line – “radical love compels me to fight” – reflects lived experience: standing up for one another and for what we believe in, regardless of the consequences. Working alongside producers Klas Åhlund and Kenneth Blume III, Show Me The Body have recontextualized their core musical language into something more focused, urgent and clear than ever before. Alone Together is not about atmosphere, but about direct communication: a call to push ourselves and the people around us into action.

    While the band’s earlier releases were about New York City – and against New York City – Alone Together presents the city more like “a ghost hovering in the background,” as vocalist Julian Cashwan Pratt describes it. The raw and hostile energy of previous records has now been replaced by desperate confessions that often touch on mental health as well – such as on the track Do What’s Right. At the same time, the album also explores emotional depths shaped by sudden bursts of joy, new life and old friendships.

    Show Me The Body last performed in Hungary in 2024, and soon we’ll once again be able to lose ourselves in their intense live show on August 17 at Turbina. Tickets go on sale on May 29 at 10 AM.
