THE ROCK BAND THANK FROM LEEDS’ concoction of anxious disco grooves, harsh noise freakouts and inscrutable sprechgesang bluster was borne out of Leeds’ notorious – and now sadly defunct – DIY collective CHUNK. Earlier this year Thank signed to independent record label Big Scary Monsters, and now the band is back with their second full-length album. 'I Have A Physical Body That Can Be Harmed’ is a brash, satirical and downright stomping full length that combines the raw ferocity of the band’s early work with the ambitious arrangements and electronic experimentation of their more recent output. The end result combines hardware techno squelch, jungle-inspired drumming, synth pop bombast and anarcho-punk spartan aggression, acid-fried and internet-poisoned with a shit-eating grin on its face, landing somewhere akin to The Cure’s ‘The Head On The Door’ if it was remixed by ‘Jenny Death’-era Death Grips.thankleeds.bandcamp.comTo celebrate the release of this volatile yet joyously cathartic post-punk record, Thank will play a release party at the Brudenell Social Club; an all-dayer featuring friends old and new, courtesy of Dirty Otter. But don’t worry, it’s a Sunday, so bedtime is 10pm.
