Bishops Green – Black Skies EP (Pirates Press Records)
Pirates Press Records are unstoppable this year. Just look at the impressive amount of records they put out since the beginning of 2022, and you’ll realize there are not so many punk rock labels putting out vinyl records like that nowadays. So far, Thoughts Words Action has covered the vast majority, if not all of…

Booze & Glory – The Reggae Sessions Vol. 2. 12″ EP (Pirates Press Records)
Here’s another good release, recently released by Pirates Press Records. I was pleasantly surprised when this vinyl arrived at Thoughts Words Action headquarters. Since 2009, Booze & Glory paved their path to punk stardom, and their music is widely known to the international streetpunk crowd. There’s more than a good reason for their success. In…

Territories are a punk rock quartet commencing from Calgary, Alberta. The band started in 2015 when four friends reunited to perform sincere punk rock music to the broader audiences.

Fakofbolan – …Ako Ne Možeš Napraviti Sam, Bar Pokvari Drugome LP (PDV Records)

To be fair, it’s nearly impossible to even start a conversation about the Balkan punk rock scene and not to mention Fakofbolan. They’ve…

Fake News – Break The Silence EP
Fake News are returning with the highly anticipated recording called Break The Silence. Unlike their previous album sympathetically called Ewwww!, the band has chosen to offer extended play material comprised of four enormously dynamic compositions.

Downstater – Mourning Vibes II CD (People Of Punk Rock Records)
It’s hard to explain how I felt when I heard this material for the first time. I guess it was a love at the first sight, mainly because Downstater is unlike any other melodic punk rock band on the contemporary melodic punk rock scene. To be honest, I was not familiar with their music until…

Scarecrow – Revenge EP (Bunker Punks Discs & Tapes)
North Carolina’s finest d-beaters are coming back with another blistering record simplistically named Revenge. This time these Raleigh punks gathered eight bone-crushing compositions full of fast-paced drumming, crunchy basslines, and clamorous shreddings. For those who are not familiar with Scarecrow’s sound, the band nurtures a very disruptive approach to d-beat music that has been saturated…

Disaster Forecast – Another Day, Another Disaster EP
Disaster Forecast is coming out of Sheffield, UK and somehow I’ve missed their latest recording called Another Day, Another Disaster that was published last year in their production. According to Discogs, this is a debut recording by these astonishing melodic punk rockers and surprisingly a brilliant one. Disaster Forecast delivers technically demanding energetic melodic hardcore…
