Living Body – ‘Choose’ A Leeds supergroup formed by members of Sky Larkin, Vessels and Juffage, Living Body’s new track is a Life Without Buildings-style anthem that is full of melodic angst.

We asked Joey from the ever-growing sad kids itoldyouiwouldeatyou to write some words about Touché Amoré‘s new song, ‘Displacement’. It’s no secret that I jam the heck outta Touché Amoré.
