Body Count is an American heavy metal band formed in Los Angeles in 1990. The group is fronted by Ice-T, who first established himself as a rapper but co-founded the group with lead guitarist Ernie C out of their interest in heavy metal music. Ice-T took on the role of vocalist and writing the lyrics for most of Body Count’s songs, while Ernie C has been responsible for writing the group’s music.

Three out of the band’s original seven members are deceased: D-Roc died from lymphoma, Beatmaster V from leukemia, and Mooseman in a drive-by shooting. Body Count’s current lineup includes vocalist Ice-T, guitarists Ernie C and Juan Garcia, bassist Vincent Price, drummer Will “Ill Will” Dorsey Jr., and backing vocalists Sean E Sean and Little Ice (Ice-T’s son).

Body Language was originally formed by Young and Wheeler when they started making dance music and remixes for a weekly party they curated at a bar called Vegas Blvd in Hartford. Soon they began to incorporate vocals from Bess and the original trio was formed.

In the fall of 2010 they self released their second EPSocial Studies in 2010 on Band camp. The tracks “You Can” and “Falling Out” were met with critical acclaim.

In the winter and spring of 2011 the band went on tour with the band Two Fresh. The side project Big Friendly Giant was started by Young on the road inspired by the instrumental hip hop of J Dilla, Mux Mool and Two Fresh. During that same year Wheeler, Young and Vasoli were finishing the first Vacationer record Gone. The attention received from the self release of Social Studies got Body Language signed to San Francisco-based record label, Om Records, which subsequently rereleased the record and boosted the profile of the band.

In 2014 the band self-released the Infinite Sunshine EP. The single and EP garnered much attention and was given press on outlets such as The Fader and The Music Ninja. The band went on a North American tour with Rubblebucket and wrote and released a beat for every city they played in and entitled the project Tour Beats Diary.
