Detroit lo-fi garage rockers Tyvek bash out noisy and chaotic yet focused punk songs with observational lyrics. Named after a popular brand of synthetic home-siding, they started gaining recognition around 2008 alongside fellow noise poppers Vivian Girls, Times New Viking, and Eat Skull, among other bands associated with a resurgence of raw, underground rock music. The group have released proper albums like Nothing Fits (2010) and On Triple Beams (2012), plus numerous limited cassettes, CD-Rs, and singles, as their lineup constantly shifts, with players from throughout the Detroit music scene joining leader Kevin Boyer. 2016’s Origin of What incorporated elements of dub along with some of the band’s most socially conscious lyrics, and 2023’s Overground featured bleating no wave saxophone.
