Beautiful Bodies - Battles [CD]

For Beautiful Bodies, it all ultimately comes down to one thing: Energy. The new Epitaph signing’s unapologetically loud-and-hooky music and their fabulously chaotic live shows stem directly from an all-consuming desire to tap into the cosmic power grid, and channel it full-force to the world at large. Singer Alicia Solombrino and guitarist Thomas Becker first crossed paths in hometown Kansas City, where soon they were attracting the attention of local radio, who began to air their hook-laden demos, not to mention local fans, who swelled their shows to the point where the band began to land prestigious opening slots for Smashing Pumpkins and My Chemical Romance.
