The solo project of NYC artist Curran Reynolds, Body Stuff has been described as "a massive surge of passionate energy ... like a hardcore Bruce Springsteen" (The Wire Magazine) and "a very New York City sound" (Decibel Magazine). Transmitting from a place where hard rock and post-punk converge, Body Stuff's infectious songs hum with longing and triumph as Reynolds's lyrics explore the pains and pleasures of existence. Released in October 2026, sophomore album Body Stuff 5 was recorded and mixed with longtime collaborator Ryan Jones and mastered by Ted Jensen (Madonna, Metallica). Guitars were performed by Andee Blacksugar (Blondie).

PRESS:

“Amid all the gloom, doom and aesthetics of grit around us, it's refreshing to hear a rock album that wears hope on its sleeve without pretending the world isn't on fire. Bob Mould did it last year with 'Here We Go Crazy'; now Curran Reynolds brings the same iridescent zeal to his long-running solo project's 'Body Stuff 5.' This is a big, bold record, decidedly of and from New York City, with melodic new wave elements clashing against harder metallic riffs and Reynolds's voice riding triumphantly.”
–The Wire

“Reynolds’ hearty howl sounds like Springsteen fully embracing his Suicide influence.”
–Stereogum

“A very New York City sound.”
–Decibel

“[Body Stuff 5] finds Reynolds delivering another dose of honest, soul-stirring music. It is an album he needed to make.
–New Noise

“A bracing slab of industrially-oriented hardcore.”
–BrooklynVegan

“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

“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

“Of all his work, Body Stuff might be the closest to Reynolds' heart. The solo project serves as a vessel for the NYC-based musician to indulge his various influences.”
–No Echo

“New York denizens Curran Reynolds and Ryan Jones pay homage to the city's diversity and independent spirit.”
–The Big Takeover

“An extremely personal ode to NYC, with haunting, alluring, deep vocals... Simple and pure, showcasing immense attention to detail.”
–Exclaim!

“Rolling, dream pop... devolves into a sonic, post-metal pummeling that would fit right at home on a Swans record.”
–PunkNews
