Show Me The Body have released a cover of Beastie Boys’ iconic single ‘Sabotage’.
With the 10th anniversary edition of their debut album ‘Body War’ set to arrive on October 17, the cover has become a highlight of the band’s live show in recent years.
On the cover, the band have shared:
“Sabotage. Become an upsetter. Make yourself a disturbance. Become the problem. Disrupt what is clean and easy. International solidarity with all fighting struggling and working people. Radical love compels me to fight.”
The track is accompanied by a music video created in collaboration with the independent conflict news organisation Popular Front. It interweaves footage from Show Me The Body’s recent pop-up show in London’s Southwark Park with archival footage from the organisation.

On the collaboration with Popular Front, the band’s Julian Cashwan Pratt has said:
“I support and consume independent journalism in general, but full disclosure, I am a straight up a fan of Popular Front. Their crew does hard work to tell true stories, or as they put it “honest reporting.” To work together on “Sabotage” is a self-fulfilling prophecy. New York band with a New York song reaching out to the world at war with a message of love and solidarity.”
