Between new Pyrex, Yuasa-Exide, So Cow, Total Con, Boo/Hiss, Pat and the Pissers, and more, there’s so much incredible stuff out this time around that merits your attention.

Pyrex: Body [Total Punk]
Ever since the last Pyrex album a couple years ago, the Brooklyn muscle punks have stayed busy, but their sick 7” on Under the Gun just left me wanting more. Body is an incredible payoff and likely their best album yet—this attack of post-punk guitars and feral vocals and a hardcore pummel. “Nerve Ends” is excellent, this dark vortex that’ll easily sweep up the listener into its build, whereas a track like “Coma” is more of a sprint. I’ll have it all, please.
