Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but Oakland’s Diesel Dudes craft hard, minimalist synth-punk songs about the joys of the gym. As confirmed by the video for “Body Clench,” the pro-workout lyrics are firmly tongue-in-cheek, but the electrified jams are unrelenting.

The group just released the Hercules Initiative 7″ in April. Stream a few songs from that record below.

Finally, bonus points for some hilarious Facebook bio work:
