“In 22 minutes they spiral through Damned/Misfits/Cult-style goth punk, Replacements-ish doomed romanticism and dissolute synth-assisted stadium rock, abetted by a drum machine whose brutally basic patterns echo the mechanical pound of Big Black, Godflesh and early Sisters of Mercy...”

–The Wire

"It’s like an ‘80s FM radio signal was beamed into space, bounced back to Earth, and fried the pirate radio tower owned by metalheads on an industrial bender."
–Stereogum


"If Godflesh ever teamed up with Billy Idol, they'd still be trying to collect the formula that makes Body Stuff infectiously entertaining."
–Metal Injection

"To what other band can we even compare something this wildly original? If Streetcleaner-era Godflesh had cut their teeth at CBGB’s, they might have sounded like Body Stuff."
–MetalSucks

"It’s melodic and unrelenting; it vacillates between crystal clear breakdowns and chugging industrial attacks. It feels like the city that inspired it."
–CVLT Nation


"While this is the heaviest EP in the trilogy, as their razor-sharp industrial metal backing has more heft and delivers more of a pounding, it doesn’t sacrifice any of its melody or hooks. In fact, Reynolds’ croon is even smoother this time around."
–New Noise


Based in New York City, Body Stuff is the duo of vocalist/songwriter Curran Reynolds (co-founder of The Chain and an ex-member of Today Is The Day and Wetnurse) and his longtime friend and bandmate, Ryan Jones. 

New EP Body Stuff 3 is the third in a trilogy of EPs. The sound combines industrial-metal power with heart-on-sleeve '80s rock vibes and some haunting ambience and lyrics. Comparisons to Killing Joke, Godflesh, Billy Idol, and even INXS, have been made. The band has played live with Godflesh, Uniform, Tombs, Collapsing Scenery, Statiqbloom, and more. 

Body Stuff 3 was produced by Curran Reynolds and Ryan Jones; mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege. All artwork was created by Curran Reynolds and Brandon Gallagher.
