The New Flesh are a three piece noise punk outfit from Baltimore MD. Evoking equal parts disgust and curiosity, the music of The New Flesh reflects the restlessness and frustration of its members: Jason Donnells, Dan Propert, and Rick Weaver (Human Host, ex Flowers in The Attic). Their progressive punk sound evolves out of the texture of 60s psychedelia, the discordance of 70s art punk, the energy of 80s west coast hardcore, and the sleaze of 90s noise rock. Jason's pounding bass and Rick's cyclonic drums provide a framework for Dan's somnambulistic guitar work. Always bringing a high energy, devastating live show, The New Flesh are a force to be reckoned with.

The New Flesh formed in the fall of 2002. Since then, they have embarked on over a dozen tours and shared the stage with national acts such as the Cheater Slicks, Heroine Sheiks, Prurient, Pearls & Brass, Wolf Eyes, VAZ, Nautical Almanac, Dead Meadow, Bardo Pond, Friends Forever, & Temple of Bon Matin.

They have recorded a steady stream of material which can be found on numerous independent labels including Human Conduct (co-operated by Rick Weaver), Hospital Productions (NYC), Cephia's Treat (FL), MT6 & Hit-Dat (Baltimore), McCarthyism (D.C.), Imvated (Belgium), and Real Cide Youth (OH). In 2004, The New Flesh was recognized as the "Best Band" in Baltimore's Citypaper. Currently, The New Flesh is writing their follow-up to their debut album Parasite! inbetween booking and performing around the US.
