Rockford, Illinois, screamo band Frail Body are a rising force in heavy music. They’ve made their name over the last few years two EPs, a single, and a four-way split with Infant Island, Massa Nera and dianacrawls. But the trio took things next level in 2019, signing with hardcore/punk stronghold Deathwish Inc., — the record label co-founded by Tre McCarthy and Converge’s Jacob Bannon — and released their debut full-length, A Brief Memoriam, one of the finest albums of the year.
