Australia’s propulsive post-punk 4-piece Body Type is back with a new song, “And What Else?” alongside an official video and has announced special live Australian dates. After a brief break during which they tended to their own projects, band members Sophie McComish (vocals and guitar), Annabel Blackman (vocals and guitar), Cecil Coleman (drums) and Georgia Wilkinson-Derums (vocals and bass) reconvened in 2024. Rejuvenated and reenergized to tackle what the world hurls at us each day, the band immediately got to work.
Released today via p(doom) Records, “And What Else?” is a bratty, bittersweet call-and-response anthem, about the pleasures and pitfalls of fishing for compliments. Blackman was inspired by the haunted yearning of The Shangri-Las and the hammy delights of Ivy and the Eater’s hit ‘Working Women’. “The big chorus is a cathartic cry out against feeling insecure in a relationship, those mental twists your brain makes when statements of adoration make you feel sceptical and unworthy, but simultaneously hungry for more of that sweet stuff” says Blackman.

Body Type has toured the globe extensively sharing stages with Foo Fighters, Sleater-Kinney, Warpaint, The Pixies, Fontaines D.C., Big Thief, Cate Le Bon, POND, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Frankie Cosmos, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, Wolf Alice, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, DZ Deathrays and more. Their London show featured a cameo from esteemed punk musician Gina Birch (The Raincoats), affirming the band’s growing significance in a long lineage of women in punk music. They have garnered support spanning Billboard, Rolling Stone, NME, FADER, Sydney Morning Herald, The Guardian, Apple Music's Matt Wilkinson, BBC Radio 1's Jack Saunders and more. With the release of their new single “And What Else?”, the band looks forward to performing for audiences later this month while also teasing something new on the horizon!
