Sophie\u2019s Body<\/strong> are touring across the country in support of their forthcoming debut album, Zero<\/strong>. The Boston quartet, led by Sophie McMinn<\/strong>, describe their combination of distorted guitars and catchy hooks as \u201cbubble-grunge.\u201d<\/p>\n

How Zero came together<\/h2>\n

McMinn said most of the songs emerged during the summer of 2025<\/strong>, before she had decided to make an album.<\/p>\n

After touring in October, the band spent a week recording in Brooklyn in November. Mixing continued until the record was mastered around February.<\/p>\n

McMinn credited producer Justin Termotto<\/strong> with helping her recognise what she had overlooked. She also said drummer Dylan<\/strong> provided encouragement when she doubted the material.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur song ‘Socialyte Zero’ would not be on this album if Dylan didn\u2019t tell me he liked it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The running order took shape while the band listened to the album at a vegan restaurant in Burlington, Vermont, before a show. McMinn said the group settled on the sequence together after she struggled to find a flow.<\/p>\n

For McMinn, the band\u2019s genre description reflects a commitment to melody alongside guitar distortion. She also traced the band\u2019s name to the idea of putting \u201cCOME SEE SOPHIE\u2019S BODY LIVE\u201d on a show flyer.<\/p>\n

Preparing for the road<\/h2>\n

Dylan and McMinn said tour preparations centre on equipment and logistics. Regular rehearsals and performances mean the set requires less attention, although new material and special changes receive dedicated rehearsal time.<\/p>\n

Other considerations include fitting equipment into the car, calculating how merchandise sales will cover food, and reaching each venue on schedule.<\/p>\n

Dylan said touring requires treating each performance as important while conserving enough energy to play the following day. McMinn said remote gas stations can feel safer than cities; Adam pointed to finding beauty in unexpected places.<\/p>\n

McMinn said she prefers performing the songs live, describing the shared physical experience of a concert as something that also enriches her listening through headphones.<\/p>\n

Between performances<\/h2>\n

On days off, Dylan likes exploring unfamiliar places and seeing trees. Harry spends time playing bass and calling his family, while McMinn takes solitary walks to find personal space.<\/p>\n
