Maffai – Shiver CD (Kidnap Music)
Here’s another one from a recent batch I received from Rookie Records. As much as I enjoy post-punk, and those who know me well know that I am deep into it, I must admit I haven’t heard for Maffai before. Thankfully, here’s the chance to get to know the music of this German post-punk group.…

Flying Penguin – Orange CD (Hicktown Records)
Recently, a brand new release from Hicktown Records arrived at Thoughts Words Action headquarters. If you paid close attention, Hicktown Records are versatile as much as possible. Their rosters span from indie and alternative rock over hip hop to punk rock and metal, but you may stumble on some surprises in between as well. The…

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…

The Matchup – Straight To The Core LP (Hell For Breakfast Records)
If you paid close attention to these pages this week, you probably realized that Hell For Breakfast carries loads of good groups/artists on their roster. Literally, everything I heard so far bursts with outstanding quality, and to be honest, I could listen to their bands over and over again without getting bored. But wait, what…

Fortune Cookie Club – Les Chansons De La Gloire LP (Hell For Breakfast Records)
At some points, I was very skeptical about this release when I opened the box with vinyl records and stumbled across it, among many others stacked in the package. There was something fishy going on with the album cover. I was not convinced enough this band is serious with its intentions to mimic hard rock…

Oktoplut – Le Démon Normal LP (Slam Disques)
So far, I have learned that Slam Disques embraces a wide variety of diverse genres under its branch. Therefore, their roster is quite unique and offers something for everyone. No matter what genre you’re into, Slam Disques unquestionably deserves to pay them a visit. I wasn’t familiar with Oktoplut before, but I will repeal that…

In The Meantime – Long Lost Feelings CD
Germany always had tons of quality punk rock bands, but it seems like even more tremendous groups emerged in recent years. New bands are popping out from nowhere and delivering some fresh ideas on the table. Thankfully, they all differ in sound, more or less, so the German scene bursts with diversity. In The Meantime…

Victory Kid – Discernation LP (SBÄM Records)
We’re all witnessing a pop-punk revival, and cool new bands are popping from every part of the globe. Luckily, most of these new bands are sounding incredibly good, and not only do they’re sound good, but they’re offering some new moves rarely seen/heard before. With all these revivals popping out in recent years, the key…

Less Than Jake / Kill Lincoln – Wavebreaker #1 (Bad Time Records)
I am totally into the music of both groups for months (been listening to Less Than Jake for twenty years or so), but somehow I missed the news about their recent split release. It seems I somehow managed to put this information under the rug for no particular reason because I can’t recall seeing the…

Sake – Getaway CD (Geenger Records)
Here’s another one from the “digging through the Geenger Records crates” series. In the past couple of weeks, we introduced so many punk rock bands on our pages, so I thought this release would fit nicely on the bill. Getaway is a debut by Sake, a Croatian punk rock quintet that emanates from Pula. This…

Card Box Colony – S/T 7″
There are several subgenres of punk rock that are continuously fighting for dominance on the underground scene. Most of these subgenres are having their ups, downs, but somehow they always receive a well-deserved revival. However, it seems pop-punk has always been on the top, claiming all the glory, while the other subgenres were somewhere in…

Stay Awake – Portraits EP
Nothing matches good melodic punk rock music. There’s something about this particular genre that keeps me returning to it over and over again. The scene is getting stronger every day, with top-notch bands popping out from every possible corner of the globe. Stay Awake is another great skate punk band I had a chance to…
