Full Body – Always There

November 27, 2019

Waste not, want not. If one uses their provisions wisely they will never be in need. Rochester-based band Full Body apply those wise words to their musical prowess, and it resulted for them in a wide ranging new album, Always There. Following their much applauded debut record, What’s Good?, Full Body have created a separate, and at times manic, new world. Full Body found themselves recording their sophomore effort away from their home turf. They tracked down to Headroom Studios in the bustling city of brotherly love, Philadelphia, PA, and worked with engineer and producer Scoops Dardaris. Track number one, “Small Voice (Still),” kicks the album off with slow sludge drums accompanied by metallic and beautiful guitar chord picking. Vocals hover over the main melody, and lead singer Dylan Vaisey long-windedly sings the main character’s motivation with the simplistic self-centered line, “I’m here for myself.” “Small Voice (Still)” lays down[...]

Tonight: Full Body

May 12, 2017

Rochester’s Full Body will be cruising down the 90 to Dreamland tonight.  After playing multiple shows in Rochester which hosted some Buffalo favorites, the indie fuzz rock four piece finally returns to Buffalo.  Local talent includes the raucous pop tinged garage rock ac, MORBS, NYC turned Buffalo solo act, Jack, and the show will be closed out by the fuzzed out emo four piece, Cooler. Music is set to kick off at 8pm, and the cover charge is only $5.  Dreamland once again provides you with a very solid option to make your Friday night a good one. Smart Martian by Full Body

Full Body Drops “Magnesium Deficiency” Singles

September 13, 2016

Full Body, a slackrock trio from Rochester, released two versions of one song, “Magnesium Deficiency,” on August’s final day. The first, “Magnesium Deficiency,” is a quick punk song with fuzzy bass, robust electric guitar, and Blink-182-like lead vocals. The second, dubbed “Mag Def,” is a beautiful, slowed down take of the same song with the addition of synth, easier vocals and drums, and chorused guitar. Both versions are equally as potent. Both carry the same relatable lyrical lines, such as “Validation is a curse,” and “Everything that’s not yours is shared.” But, for separation’s sake, the first sounds like Dads and the second is something you’d hear from Balance and Composure. Check out the demos below, and stayed tuned for their upcoming split with Soft Cough.

Top 20 Rochester Tracks: 10-1

December 10, 2015

It’s that time of the year again where we rack our brain, scan our playlists, and check all of our posts for all of the songs that we’ve covered from the 585 from the past year. It seems like just yesterday we were jamming out to Kitty Snowpants and discussing when JOYWAVE was going to break (spoiler: they did). This is our fourth year of tracking our favorite songs of the year out of Rochester. Now, I am sure there are amazing songs that we’ve brushed over or haven’t even heard coming out of the city. This list is subjective obviously, this is a blog. Regardless, I think Rochester’s scene this year has been the strongest it has been ever, pumping out consistent jams which is giving Buffalo a run for its money. On Tuesday, we posted our first half (20-11) of our favorite tunes. Here are our top ten songs[...]

Full Body Releases Debut EP

September 2, 2015

Full Body is the new project from Skirts drummer Dylan Vaisey, couretsy of Rochester-based label Bangkok Blend. Skirts is one of our favorite Rochester acts here at buffaBLOG, so naturally our interest was piqued by this particular side project. Full Body is hyper-aware, literate indie rock for fans of The Front Bottoms, Pavement, or Sebadoh. The album features an eclectic mix of styles that ranges from ultra grungy to half-sung, half-spoken emo odes. Despite Vaisey’s ultra straightforward and blunt delivery, this batch of songs has a cryptic feel. Check it out a cut from the group’s debut EP Go Get It below.

Full Body Releases Debut Demo, “World Famous”

February 3, 2015

We woke up this morning to some solid new Rochester material to pick through, one of which being the first track from the new college rock trio, Full Body, which made its FB debut just at the end of 2014. Recorded by Hayden Ford of Skirts, the slackerish “World Famous” recalls a mixed cast of bands from long time lo-fi’ers Guided by Voices to Weezer to even some fuzzier Sloan. Check out the track below and keep an eye out for forthcoming new material from Full Body.
