sidebody - "no commercial enterprise"

I distinctly remember sidebody playing "no commercial enterprise" when they played Deep Cuts with Hallelujah the Hills back in November. It was a fun song about the biggest band fight they had, and seemed like the kind of song that would only exist as a silly live song and wouldn't ever make it on an album. Well... as of today it's now an official single. I don't think any band besides sidebody could pull off a song about the inner argument in a band about whether they should be focused on making money or purely focus on their art. It's been a personal favorite of mine from their live shows for reasons I don't completely understand, but that's kind of the magic of sidebody. 

You can listen to "no commercial enterprise" below. Be sure to check out the song on Bandcamp to hear special edits of the song made for various local radio stations, which is actually kinda genius. For more on sidebody, check out the band's website. Be sure to check them out at Boston Calling this weekend. They'll be playing the Orange Stage at 4:10 on Saturday, May 24. Their social media is promising big things, so we certainly won't be missing it!
