Putting modern life\u00a0under their microscope, they pick over the minutiae of the day to day, and\u00a0find\u00a0a world that is either a) not paying attention or b) not listening to those that are.\u00a0In their own mission statement,\u00a0the band\u00a0say they aim to\u00a0<em>&#8220;write the perfect soundtrack to whatever you do whilst procrastinating at your day job.&#8221;\u00a0<\/em>but it is their own sense of focus and direction\u00a0that propels them into vivid new territory on new single <em>Naughty On My Bike<\/em>.

Contorted, wiry guitar lines pair themselves to a battering ram of percussion, topped with a subtle wit\u00a0and\u00a0laconic phrasing that ensures there\u2019s always a hook to be found. Nuanced and direct, they are band that never says more than they need to. It is a trait that serves them well as they poke at a system that is routinely brought to its knees and too expensive. Guitarist Theo Verney explains:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;It&#8217;s&nbsp;a&nbsp;song dedicated to the humble bicycle. Naughty On My Bike&nbsp;openly criticises the public transport system as being over priced and sluggish. Walking, being the green option, is slower still. In cycling we find balance between speed and convenience.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Naughty On My Bike<\/em> is produced by Theo Verney (Egyptian Blue, TRAAMS, Home Counties, Youth Sector).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Over the past year, Brighton&#8217;s Public Body have been steadily building themselves a reputation as an intriguing post-punk project, with a keen eye for detail. <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=34018\" title=\"Public Body share jagged new single \u2018Naughty On My Bike\u2019\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":34019,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"On Culture Addicts: Public Body share jagged new single \u2018Naughty On My Bike\u2019","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[22,23,28,30],"tags":[9143,925,9144],"class_list":["post-34018","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-guitar-rock","category-indie","category-music","category-new-release","tag-naughty-on-my-bike","tag-post-punk","tag-public-body"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/FB07E439-D5A6-43CC-8F66-6145C680F3ED.jpeg?fit=900%2C675&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-8QG","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":28476,"url":"https:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=28476","url_meta":{"origin":34018,"position":0},"title":"Canshaker Pi share new single &#8216;Put A Record Out&#8217;","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"March 5, 2018","format":false,"excerpt":"Canshaker Pi have shared their new single 'Put A Record Out'.
