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.…

The Jukebox Romantics – Fires Forming 12″ EP (Engineer Records / Sell The Heart Records)
It’s nearly the end of a year, Christmas is around the corner, but the punk rock community doesn’t have any intentions to stop anytime soon. Despite being almost the end of the year, good records are coming out until December 31, so keep that in mind while assembling the top music releases of the year…

The Beatersband – Love I Can B W You 7″
This release came like a surprise to Thoughts Words Action headquarters last week. I have to admit this is the first time I heard about this group, so I was more than curious to check their music out. Therefore, I listened to it for a couple of days until I became familiar with the sound…

Confused – Black Colours CD
This release recently arrived on my doorstep. I have to be honest that I wasn’t familiar with the activities of this band before, and this particular full-length material is my first experience with their music. Thankfully, the group sent me their brand new album for review, so judging by how their album sounds, I will…

Tarantula Tapes Presents: Tracknaphobia Vol. 1. (Tarantula Tapes)
What started as a releasing platform for a couple of local bands from Barry, Ontario, Canada, became a phenomenon rarely seen on a global punk rock scene. The cassettes are still desirable sound carriers among punk rockers, and the sold-out titles at Tarantula Tapes are living proof of my statement. What blows my mind over…

For A Reason – Lights And Signs CD
It’s been a while since I wrote some reviews about skatepunk music, which is kind of strange considering I love this genre so much. What’s even stranger is the fact I missed so many good albums released in the past couple of months. Therefore, I want to fix that mistake by including more skatepunk groups…

Year Of The Fist – Live At Ivy Room, Albany, California 7″ (DCxPC Live)
If you paid close attention to our pages this year, you probably stumbled upon a couple of reviews and news posts about DCxPC Live editions. DCxPC Live were one of those promoters who almost instantly adapted to fully operating during the pandemic by providing live streams for the broader audience. Nevertheless, they also decided to go a…

Decent Criminal – DC EP (Sell The Heart Records/Gunner Records)
Here’s another great from the Sell The Heart Records batch. This group is not a stranger to these pages, and I had a chance to review their third full-length material named Bliss. Decent Criminal is one of those groups that are constantly experimenting with the sound, shape-shifting sonic aesthetics, and delving deep into the depths…

Hangtime – Invasion CD (Dental Records)
Here’s the last one from the Dental Records batch. They were kind enough to send some older works of Hangtime, so today, I have the chance to review their Invasion EP. According to Discogs, Invasion is their third recording, and it stands beside several others, such as Plug In, Invictus Melodius, and Destroy! I am…

Trickshooter Social Club – Monte Carlo EP
Today, I am presenting something completely different from what you get used to stumbling upon these pages. The band that I would like to introduce to you today embraces several genres to illustrate their feelings, emotions, and ideas. Do not forget flawless musicianship that usually goes with all the bands who dare to cross the…
