I first found out about tetog two years ago when I was up in NC. I stopped by sorry state records (probably my favorite record store on the planet, go check them out if you can) and I was digging through the 7”s and saw this album cover that had nothing but a picture on it for $6 so I said fuck it and grabbed it. I didn’t get to listen to it until I got back home to houston and as soon as I popped it on my mind was blown.
After I had listened to it (multiple times lol) I decided to look into them and realized “oh shit that’s Bee from Physique” which I thought was sick because only about a month before I saw them play live here in houston. After digging through their expansive discogs collection (2 Whole Releases) I saw this beautiful lavender version and had to have it.
Finally, onto the music. It’s loud, raw blackened crust with an unstoppable energy. The amount of power they have behind their sound is mind boggling, even just listening quietly in the background it has enough energy to get me up and moving.
Side A is three songs put together in one massive movement and it’s so perfect. All of it just fits together so well and every time I listen I lose my mind and how good they are. The lyrics are so fucking good it’s just exploding with emotion.

As Always…
Genuinely an amazing band all around they’ve influence me in my own music so much even though they aren’t around anymore. I can’t think of a single band that sounds like them and it just blows my mind every time I listen to them.
You can listen to them on bandcamp
Little side note: I’ve been on the hunt for their tape “Despite the depth of our alienation, we are never truly alone” and I haven’t been able to find it if you have a copy or know where I can find one please let me know. Or if you can find a digital rip of it point me in that direction. I know what’s on it, but I still want to be able to hear this one
