Get the lowdown on Sydney based indie-pop gang Body Type ahead of their new release, EP2...

KEY TRACK: Stingray
LABEL: Partisan Records/Inertia Music
MANAGEMENT: Converge Management
TWITTER: @bodytypeband

WHO: Body Type’s line-up is Sophie McComish and Annabel Blackman on vocals and guitar, singing bassist Georgia Wilkinson-Derums and drummer Cecil Coleman.

WHAT: Indie-pop rendered in time-honoured fashion. Body Type are massive on melody, huge on harmonies and they go large on gang spirit. Scratchy new single Stingray typifies their life-affirming sound.

WHERE: Three of the band are from Perth, but Body Type formed in Sydney after McComish wound up there looking for a band flesh out her demos.

WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?

Debut track Ludlow was quickly followed by 264 and Body Type’s sound took shape, a garagey blend of riffs and vinegary lyrics. Last year’s debut EP will be followed in May by EP2.

ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW?

Post-SXSW, Body Type are bound for Live At Leeds and The Great Escape in May. A run of UK dates includes a night at Moth Club in London on 15.

NICE!

Damn right. Bring your dancing shoes.
