Past members

On Bodies was an American hardcore band active from 2009 to 2017.[1][2] Principally based in Cincinnati, Ohio, where the majority of its members resided, it also included members from Michigan, Florida, New Jersey, and Kentucky.[3][4][5] The group was formed by guitarist, bass guitarist, drummer, backing vocalist, and principal songwriter Richard Thurston (formerly of Timescape Zero, Culture, Blood Has Been Shed, Diecast, One Nation Under, Terror, and Walls of Jericho), and vocalist and lyricist Damien Moyal (formerly of Culture, Shai Hulud, Morning Again, Bird of Ill Omen, As Friends Rust, Bridgeburne R, and Damien Done).[3][4][5] The band later also included former members of Until the End, Where Fear and Weapons Meet, Glasseater, Destro, Mixtapes, and The Homeless Gospel Choir.

The band released three extended plays during its span: Planet Hospice in 2012 (Eulogy Recordings / American Enemy Records), The Long Con in 2013 (Coffeebreath and Heartache Records / Irish VooDoo Records), and Unremarkably Mortal in 2015 (Irish VooDoo Records). The last two extended plays were combined into a compilation album titled Unremarkably Mortal + The Long Con for the Japanese and European markets in 2015 (Cosmic Note / Demons Run Amok Entertainment). The band also produced music videos for the singles "Just Can't Win" (2012) and "Down and Doubt" (2015).
