Exclusive: TV Coma Reveal ‘Body Negativity’ EP Track By Track

UK merry makers TV Coma are all set to release their sumptuous new EP, Body Negativity, on Friday 31st May through Wiretap Records. TV Coma are a contrary collection of millennials that were raised on a lean diet of crap beer and Weezer albums, with a series of party-infused shows planned for the coming months, along with further video releases, 2019 is destined to be an enthralling ride for TV Coma. The Punk Site has an exclusive track by track breakdown of the EP thanks to frontman Max Troy. The track by track and the videos for the singles Unemployable and Have A Party can be viewed below

Wallowing in a void of unemployment,  Body Negativity was written and demoed by Leo, Max and Jamie. The band convened in Max’s bedroom and recorded their bits before Max became a solitary warrior, mixing in two claustrophobic weeks then whipping them overseas to Alan Douches for a little sprinkle of mastering magic.

1.’Have A Party was inspired by some absolute legends in Batchwood nightclub grinding up and down each other making grunting noises to DJ Fresh. It’s a plaintive yet celebratory  singalong about how we might look happy on the outside but on the inside we are all so dead.

2. Digital Girl is about a sexless romantic relationship that exists only on the internet for 50 years and then they both die. The melody started as a voice memo on Max’s phone that he recorded after dropping falafel on the floor outside a well-known high street electronics shop.

3. Trudy is about a pseudo-intellectual modern art student Leo met at a party who wouldn’t stop talking about quinoa and the collapse of the Soviet Union and some band called Elephant Smoothie Holiday. He tried to say something back to her but she left so he wrote a song instead.

4. Unemployable is about the painful irony of being too poor to buy Rich Tea biscuits in Tesco, walking around aimlessly like a lost man-child, crying a bit and then buying custard creams instead even though they’re more expensive and don’t have the structural integrity to properly dunk in tea.

5. I Don’t Like Football is our loving tribute to the beautiful game of kicking the ball, because everyone loves the one where we do that. It’s explodes from a terrace chant into some head banging riffs and a family friendly breakdown topped off by an actual real life football whistle.

6. Grow Up is a chorus repeated over and over again. It’s the rotten cherry on top of our sundae. Or is it the sickly sweet pitch-black chocolate at the bottom? It depends. Either way it’s sad. Very sad, because we’re sad. Plus, you’re sad. So screw off, nerds. Grow up.
