Based in New York City, Body Stuff is the duo of Curran Reynolds and Ryan Jones. The sound combines industrial-metal power, heart-on-sleeve '80s rock vibes, and some haunting ambience and lyrics; reviews have drawn comparisons to Godflesh, Billy Idol, The Replacements, and more. Body Stuff 3, released in January 2020, is the third in a trilogy of EPs. Reynolds and Jones are both ex-members of Today Is The Day, who played on 2011's Pain Is A Warning album and toured with world in support of it.

The "Spies" video was created by Curran Reynolds and Brandon Gallagher. It stars dancer Lily Stephania. Reynolds says:

"The song is about the outsider, the outcast, the wanderer, the spy. And how such a person can move from a state of isolation to a state of connection. Finding home in transience, finding peace amongst strangers. Falling in love with the world." 

"I made the video with these ideas in mind. Watching it back now, I can say it's full of little references to movies I love, like 'Wings of Desire' and 'Permanent Vacation.' These influences revealed themselves after the fact." 

"My collaborator was Brandon Gallagher, who made the 'New York in the Rain' video with me too. It's Brandon's skills that brought these videos to life."

“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... It's hugely evocative stuff."
–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

"It’s music you can dance to, and music you can slam to, and music you can head bang to. You choose your adventure when you throw on a Body Stuff record."
–CVLT Nation
