After much deliberation, we have decided to hang up our patch cords.

everyone who offered us support, came to our shows, or helped carry

Notions of identity and displacement are recurring themes for the band, but despite the heaviness of the lyrics the music is not gloom and doom. The After EP offers a serious mix of danceable rock and rumbling epic ballads, and is also the aftermath of the past four years in which On Bodies discovered all of its parts and what makes its heart beat.
