D-beat, raw punk band, Physique, has announced they will be touring with South Korean band Scumraid. The tour will begin in late April and weave through the East Coast, including two dates in NYC.

Physique, based in Olympia, Washington, debuted in 2017 with the EP I HATE IT !​!​!​!​! and have since continued to create a name for themselves. In 2018, they released PUNK LIFE IS SHIT on Iron Lung Records as well as playing Manic Relapse’s vol. 6. In conjunction with the announcement to tour with Scumraid the band released a third album on January 7th, The Evolution of Combat (pressed by Distort Reality).

There are a couple of scenes that I really try to pay attention to: Austin/Houston, New York, Philadelphia, Indiana, and Olympia. I’m not sure how this band is received there, but I surely enjoy what they bring to the table for the OLY scene. The Evolution of Combat doesn’t disappoint when compared to their two previous releases either. It hits hard and fast, clocking in at just under 13 minutes with just ten tracks to blaze through. I wondered if I would have an iconic line to take away from this album like I did PUNK LIFE IS SHIT. How could a band top, “IF IGNORANCE IS REALLY BLISS… PUNK LIFE – PUNK LIFE IS SHIT?” Easy.

MY OWN MIND AND BODY AREN’T EVEN AT PEACE. HATE MY PHYSIQUE.
