Sincere Engineer - Rhombithian { vinyl }

Sincere Engineer's debut album Rhombithian is a heartfelt punk manifesto that throws its whole soul into every hook, riff, and shout-along chorus.

Released in 2017 via Red Scare Industries, this raw and relatable LP introduced the world to Deanna Belos' unmistakable voice—both vocally and lyrically.

The album kicks off with “Corn Dog Sonnet No. 7,” setting the tone with jagged guitars and self-deprecating charm. “Overbite” and “Ceramic Tile” keep the momentum charging forward, blending pop-punk catchiness with the vulnerability of Midwest emo. Every track feels like a confessional journal entry - relatable, messy, and real in all the best ways.

Throughout Rhombithian, Sincere Engineer manages to hit that sweet spot between raucous basement show energy and tear-stained poetry. Songs like “Screw Up” and “Let You Down” tap into the chaos of being young, anxious, and trying not to fall apart in public. The production is gritty without being sloppy—just the way punk should be.

This pressing is the original vinyl release, featuring all 11 tracks in their unfiltered glory. It’s a must-have for fans of DIY punk and emotionally honest songwriting with a Chicago heart and a punk soul.

Whether you're spinning it at full volume or crying into your coffee, Rhombithian hits every time.
