The story
Bikini Body are your favourite DJ’s favourite punk band. They’ve released two records with Optimo Music, whose support helped shape their current trajectory and a sound that’s dancier than punk and punkier than dance.
Drawing on ESG, Liquid Liquid, Warmduscher and Squid, their sound pairs percussive grooves with a confrontational vocal style rooted in The Slits, Bush Tetras and X-Ray Spex.
Recent activity includes a 13-date UK co-headline tour with a sold-out London show, a packed-out headline set at The Windmill, Brixton, and festival appearances at Manchester Psych Fest, Hidden Door and Watching Trees. Airplay has followed across BBC Radio 6 Music, Radio 1, KEXP and NTS.
The band have just completed 10 new tracks at PRAH Studios in Margate. The new material leans even deeper into the sound they’ve been honing live; rhythmic, confrontational and built for both the dance floor and the DIY basement.
