Pyrex – S/T – New LP

Another essential junkyard dog unleashed from Total Punk Records, sounding like nihilistic optimistical fuckers who ain't got no time to slowing down to mope about feeling sorry for themselves, pounding hot dipped galvanized ten-penny nails through waterlogged 2 x 4s and moving into the darkness of puddled cobblestone and New York city back alleys packed with razor wire and rusty barbed wire, ripping like a chop-saw working against the grain and stomping out the other end bloodied and unstoppable, a few bones broken but elbows swinging sounding like they were a band that could have helped pull the slack and saved the day and altered history in 1986 armed with thready patches of influences like Scandinavia punk rock death rock, HC and the Wipers, but them days are over and they know it, stomping out of the fog of the post-pandemic world of today.  -- winch

"Erupting onto the New York punk scene, Brooklyn based band Pyrex have made waves after releasing a handful of well-received singles and tapes and touring the US generating significant buzz. At long last, the group is releasing their highly anticipated debut LP "PYREX". The LP delivers driving, scrappy hardcore-leaning post-punk that sounds like a mix between a lost KBD artifact and an Eastern European post-punk unknown. This LP explores dystopic and nihilistic themes both lyrically and musically packaged in no-brainer high energy punk. Pyrex delivers distorted, angular and heavily entwined bass and guitar hooks strengthened by linear, pummeling drums with raw, aggressive vocals. The trio have created an LP that is equally unchained and artful. "PYREX" is a wholly well-crafted, frenetic, dialed-in, oven-safe, microwavable, and collectable modern punk record with infinite playability." - Sims Hardin
