Soul Meets Body is a high-energy punk rock band from Washington, DC, blending the raw power of DC hardcore with sugary pop melodies, grungy textures, and a touch of shoegaze haze. Their sound is as eclectic as it is cohesive—equal parts grit and glitter, delivered with theatrical flair. Known for their dynamic live shows and unapologetic presence, Soul Meets Body isn’t just here to play music—they’re building a community. Every show is a safe, inclusive space for all people, regardless of race, gender, or belief. Come for the noise, stay for the revolution.
On their latest single, “No Youth No Future,” Soul Meets Body takes from nostalgic punk and mixes it with a modern urgency. It is a raw, unfiltered, and unapologetic punk tune that rips through the speakers and forces all to huddle around to ensure every face-melting guitar note, throat-scratching vocal, and heartpounding drum is felt deeply. “No Youth No Future” aims at the powers that be for allowing society to become what we see every day, and while perception is to each’s own, Soul Meets Body makes sure we all know their stance. Their disgust for violence creeps out of crashing drums, and their hunger for a sense of peace, or any answers, is made clear in the blunt poetry of the songwriting. On the surface, “No Youth No Future” may seem like a regular punk record, but that is a huge discredit to the intricacies of this band. A further listen proves they are more vulnerable than any comparisons the mind can conjure. Their empathy bleeds into their music, making “No Youth No Future” not just an anthem for all, but a look into the complex minds of Soul Meets Body.
