What They Sound Like: The new project from ex-Little Red member Quang Dinh, Naked Bodies epitomises what’s so great about straight up, no frills indie rock n’ roll. The band’s razorblade primal instincts are entwined with Dinh’s baritone, and driven forward by the unstoppable crack and crunch of drummer Cam Potts. While bassist Brendan West provides Naked Bodies’ pulsating heartbeat, guitarists Will Coyote and Dinh drench the rest of the band’s sound in hooky guitar feedback.

Why You Should Care: Over the past two years since Little Red’s break up, Dinh has spent his time ravaging a Fender Jaguar and kicking his mind into overdrive by working with some of the best musicians in Melbourne, the result of which has become Naked Bodies. The band have recently released their new single ‘Ride On’ (off their upcoming LP due out in September) to celebrate they’ll be playing shows in Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra.

You’ll Love It If You Dig: Strokes, New Gods, The Arctic Monkeys (early days)
