It’s been a while since we had some folk-rock music on our pages. Luckily, a parcel full of releases from Switzerland arrived at our headquarters about a week ago. Nothing of this would be possible without Hendricks The Hatmaker, a folk-punk trio based in Lucerne. The band is back on the map after a three-year… Read More Hendricks The Hatmaker – Songs For The Confused CD
Here’s another beautiful release from Noise Appeal Records, a prolific Austrian record label that, as far as I know, doesn’t have any bad releases in their catalog. They proved my point with a new release that recently arrived at Thoughts Words Action headquarters. I wasn’t familiar with this band. After reading the press sheet, I… Read More The New Mourning – When The Light Fades (Noise Appeal Records)
We have some instrumental music today as well. It is one of those releases I waited for with anticipation since I heard a couple of tracks about a month ago. Finally, a compact disc arrived a couple of days ago, and now it’s time to dive deep into the matter. I have to admit I… Read More UFO Över Lappland – Spökraketer CD (Burnt Toast Vinyl)
The Oxford Drive Band recently released a new song, a meaningful ballad that will unquestionably shake your feelings from one way to another. Led by Marian Godwin, a profoundly creative and talented singer/songwriter who went through rough times in life, The Oxford Drive Band is now located in Cape Cod, where the beforementioned artist found… Read More The Oxford Drive Band – The Long Way Home
Today we’re exploring more rock music through the latest work of The R Train band. I have to admit it’s a bit unusual that I review a cover song, but Thoughts Words Action is a website that likes to experiment with different concepts, so be it. We Got To Get Out Of This Place is… Read More The R Train Band – We Gotta Get Out Of This Place
I heard rumors about the greatness of this record before, and I had high hopes about it, but to be quite honest, I never thought it would be this extremely incredible. Of course, Warhorse is an absolute banger from scratch to finish, thanks to experienced musicians involved in Charger. It was so foolish of me… Read More Charger – Warhorse LP (Pirates Press Records)
Yesterday I wrote an article about Dog Soldier‘s upcoming unreleased album, and now, it’s time to go back a couple of years earlier and dive deep into their debut full-length. Name Your Poison unquestionably differs from the unreleased material a lot. While Shoot To Kill gathers genres like proto-grunge, grunge, punk rock, and psychedelic rock,… Read More Dog Soldier – Name Your Poison CD (SMTM Records)
I was always fascinated by the lost recordings. For some unexplainable reason, I wanted to hear stories about how particular albums got lost and eventually emerged back to the surface after a while. Shoot To Kill is one of those lost recordings or, should I say, forgotten recordings by the Ann Arbor’s Dog Soldier. It… Read More Dog Soldier – Shoot To Kill CD (SMTM Records)
Here’s some more music from Elitbolaget‘s versatile catalog. This time, I had a chance to taste the slightly mellower side of this Finnish label. As usual, it is one of the side projects that involves members of some other Elitbolaget’s bands, such as Bob Malmstrom and Trident. Superflesh is something like the Finnish answer to… Read More Superflesh – L.O.V.E. CD EP (Elitbolaget)
After a critically acclaimed full-length release, Los Angeles garage rock duo Moon Walker returns with a new single. It is a proper continuation to their album Truth To Power, which gathered a lot of positive critics from the broader auditorium. Doombox is their sixth song in a row from the series of singles launched in… Read More Moon Walker – Doombox
Here’s a neat release that arrived today at Thoughts Words Action headquarters. It was one of those parcels I expected after the holidays, so I am glad it arrived safe and sound. This particular release will be such a treat for fans of punk rock music. Bleak Midwinter is a debut extended play by Gone… Read More Gone From Better – Bleak Midwinter CD EP
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.… Read More Tired Radio / Neckscars / American Thrills / Nightmare For A Week – Split 7″ (Engineer Records / Sell The Heart Records)
