以前来日ツアーも行っていた同郷アメリカはワシントン州オリンピア産現行暴走アメリカンHARDCOREグループELECTRIC CHAIRと、こちらも同様韓国SCUMRAIDとカップリング・来日ツアーの記憶も鮮烈な同じくU.S.ワシントンはオリンピア州産現行RAW CRASHER D-BEAT NOISE PUNK、PHYSIQUEによる2025年最新SPLIT LP from IRON LUNG RECORDS！

お互いスタイルは異なれどリスペクトしあう仲間グループ同士でSPLITを出そう！というコンセプトのもと実現したリリースなんだそうですがまず当店にも入荷完売済み2022年1stアルバム以来となるELECTRIC CHAIRはアングリーかつ屈折したエナジーに満ちた初期衝動満点pissed offハードコアが初期ボストンGANG GREEN/JERRY’S KIDSばりに炸裂する全5曲！

そして当店御利用のお客様にはお馴染み、SCUMRAIDとの合同ジャパンパンツアーが大盛況だったPHYSIQUEはこれまでと一貫した独自のPHYSIQUE流CRASHER NOISE D-BEAT RAW PUNK路線ながらも、何か吹っ切れたような潔さと貫禄が漂う様がカッコ良すぎる孤高の全5曲！

先日PHYSIQUEと合同アメリカツアーを敢行したCONTRAST ATTITUDEのGori氏によると、このPHYSIQUEのおかげでアメリカには20代らしきヤングPUNKS & CRUSTIESはジャンジャン増えてきているようで頼もしい限りの両面インサート付き！

以下レーベルインフォ！

A celebration of love, unity and noise.

The idea of PHYSIQUE and ELECTRIC CHAIR doing a split record was a spontaneous idea that got thrown out when a handful of members from each band went swimming together a few summers ago. The thought that they were two very different sounding and well celebrated bands, from the same small town made it very appealing. Of course, the driving idea was that it was a symbol of friendship between members of the bands. Since their respective inceptions, the two bands have been closely intertwined. Riley lived with a few members of ELECTRIC CHAIR for many years. Trae is a former member of PHYSIQUE - and Riley has even filled in on drums for EC. The two bands love one other and have been long time friends and supporters of each other’s music. The record celebrates a period of time in OLYMPIA’s rich punk history that all involved are very proud of.
