Body Stuff's Curran Reynolds says, "This song looks back on 20 years of life in NYC – the lowest lows and highest highs and the ways we dance between those two extremes. The gutter and the penthouse."


The video was directed by Reynolds and Brandon Gallagher. The two are partners in The Chain, the multi-faceted company responsible for releasing Body Stuff 3. The video stars Alaina Alvarez as "The Queen of New York" and Gene Fowler as "The King of New York."


Body Stuff is the duo of Curran Reynolds and Ryan Jones. Reynolds, the songwriter and vocalist, began the project in the early part of this decade, when both he and Jones were members of Today Is The Day.

Body Stuff 3, out January 10, 2020, is the third in a trilogy of EPs: the self-titled Body Stuff (2013), Body Stuff 2 (2016), and Body Stuff 3 (2020).

Reviews of the first two EPs singled out a few aspects of the Body Stuff sound. On the surface, there were crooning vocals, simple hooks, and an earnest spirit, nodding to the rousing rock songs that filled late-‘80s FM radio dials. Underneath, something heavier: programmed drums and thick guitars conjured industrial-metal power. And deeper in the mix was a dreamlike ambience that evoked the places the music was conceived – namely, the streets of New York City (the debut EP) and a lake in rural Maine (Body Stuff 2).

Featuring the longest, most highly developed music the duo has created so far, Body Stuff 3 consists of five, intense, radiant anthems that take the Body Stuff style to the next level. The EP was recorded and mixed by Jones and Reynolds at Jones’ studio, Growlhouse, in Queens, NY, and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Torche, Full of Hell).

Upcoming shows:
Dec 6 - Queens, NY @ H0L0 (w/ Aeviterne)
Dec 27 - Brooklyn, NY @ Gold Sounds (w/ Plaque Marks)
