Body Type
Body Type are a rock band based in Sydney and the Illawarra, NSW. Their unique post punk sound has been refined across 2 EPs and 2 albums, earning such accolades as Next Big Thing and Best Live Act at the FBi SMAC Awards, shortlisting for the Australian Music Prize, a nomination for Best Live Guitarist at the National Live Music Awards and generous acclaim across global press and radio (Billboard, Rolling Stone, NME, Fader, Sydney Morning Herald, The Guardian, Apple Music’s Matt Wilkinson, BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders and many more).
Following the release of their 2023 album Expired Candy, Body Type toured the UK/EU extensively including festival appearances at Roskilde and Rock Werchter to huge crowds. The band’s London show featured a cameo from esteemed punk musician Gina Birch (The Raincoats), affirming Body Type’s growing significance in a long lineage of women in punk music. Expired Candy successfully propelled the band forward in both a recorded and live setting, evidenced by tour support offers from Foo Fighters as well as seminal all-female bands Sleater-Kinney and Warpaint.
In early 2025, the band visited Velveteen Laboratory Studios in Los Angeles to record their third full- length album with renowned musician and producer Stella Mozgawa (Warpaint, Courtney Barnett, Kim Gordon). The resulting body of work – engineered by Bonnie Knight (Amyl & The Sniffers), mixed by Omar Yakar (The War On Drugs, Perfume Genius) and mastered by Jonathan Boulet (Party Dozen, Arse) – represents a bold step forward for the band creatively and sonically. New music coming very soon.
