Tired Radio / Neckscars / American Thrills / Nightmare For A Week – Split 7″ (Engineer Records / Sell The Heart Records)
Here’s another one from the Engineer Records batch that arrived in Thoughts Words Action headquarters about two weeks ago. There’s a pretty much good reason why I left this particular release for reviewing in a new year. Also, there’s a pretty good reason why this release ended up on our Top Releases Of 2021 list.…

Pam Risourié – So Be It, Eternity LP (Engineer Records / Araki Records / Lofish Records / Pyrrhic Victory Recordings)
Sometimes I forget about some releases that I heard before, and sadly, this happened to me with this particular record. I remember that this record instantly blew me away when I heard it over streaming services. Luckily, Engineer Records sent it for a review in their latest batch, along with other goodies. The cover artwork…

About Leaving – Sculptures Of Water (Engineer Records / Navalla Discogs / CGTH Records / I’m Not Going Anywhere Tonight Records)
Engineer Records decided to nail this year with some outstanding records and the vinyl I would like to talk about today is unquestionably one of those that deserve your full attention. Sculptures Of Water by About Leaving is one of those records that will suit all the admirers of emo sound, but who knows, maybe…

Heavy Seas – Everything Breaks (Sell The Heart / Little Rocket Records / Rad Girlfriend Records)
It’s been a while since I planned to check out the Sell The Heart Records catalog, but many things were on the way. Finally, that day has come, so I picked a tremendous band for this particular occasion. As far as I am informed, Heavy Seas are a relatively new post-hardcore trio from Chicago and…

The Wolf Howls When I Scream Your Name – Grief Songs CD (Engineer Records)
To be honest, I wasn’t familiar with this group until David of Engineer Records pointed me out to their music. He sent their compact disc for a review, so this rainy day is the perfect timing for this type of sound. As far as I am informed, The Wolf Howls When I Scream Your Name…

Stubborn Will – Contempt CD EP (Engineer Records)
Here’s another one from the recent Engineer Records batch. I have to admit I wasn’t familiar with this group, but their sound blew me away as soon as I pressed play. Stubborn Will is a brand new melodic hardcore trio from Spokane, Washington, USA. As far as I am informed, this particular recording is their…

wlots – Sempre Più CD (Engineer Records)
We have another great Engineer Records release in front of us. However, it is the older one, released back in 2019, if I can remember correctly. Still, it’s a pretty damn release that deserves to be heard by the broader auditorium. Sempre Più is a debut full-length album by wlots, released by Engineer Records and…

Come The Spring – Echoes Revived CD (Engineer Records)
UK melodic punk rock/indie/emo scene is getting even stronger each day, thanks to hardworking bands, labels, and promoters. They’re representing significant cogs in the machinery that runs smoothly for decades. Engineer Records is one of those record labels that has been active for two decades and delivers tremendous releases daily. Recently, Engineer Records reissued Echoes…

Side Project – Bittersweet CD (Engineer Records)
It’s been a while since I covered pop-punk releases on these pages, so one of these releases from the Engineer Records comes in handy for this occasion. I have to admit that I am not entirely familiar with contemporary pop-punk scene, but I stumbled upon some brilliant pop-punk groups here and there. Side Project is…

Truth & Tragedy – Innocence Abandoned CD
Here’s another great one that I purposely left as a treat for this Sunday. Truth & Tragedy is a tremendous post-hardcore duo, which developed as a result of six months of planning, songwriting, and recording. This German duo emanates from Bamberg, and recently they premiered their debut full-length material over social media. Truth & Tragedy…

Ochi – Tremor EP (Geenger Records)
I have to admit that I waited with anticipation for this material to come out, and judging by the reactions on social media, I am not the only one. Ochi has created a kind of mystique imagery around themselves with a video for their debut single, mainly because this band popped out of nowhere and…

Grimm Winter – Grimm Winter
For some weird reason, I pushed aside pop-punk music in the past couple of weeks. It’s not that I got bored by the pop-punk sound, but it seems to me that the pop-punk scene has been quiet for a while. I am positively sure there a lot of brand new recordings out there, but maybe…
