Sincere Engineer - Probable Claws LP record (grey vinyl)

Sincere Engineer is a tight group of musicians, no matter the iteration, that have always been jam packed with positive vibes and good ol’ fashioned punk rock energy. Their songs are catchy and Belos’ vocals can sway from a gentle pop-punk delivery to a more in-your-face hardcore. Their songs tend to be infectious as they can instantly get you moving and Probable Claws is no different. The mark of this record and this new chapter of Sincere Engineer becomes apparent in just seconds of the LP opener “Twist My Tongue.” Led in by powerful drums and fuzzy chords followed by some choir-like, atmospheric melodic chants, “Twist My Tongue” is a perfect summer pop-punk song. At times it feels like a Blink-182 track with more self-deprecation instead of…well, whatever you classify Blink humor as. Sincere Engineer is the real deal and Probable Claws is just another piece of evidence to submit on that statement.
