We’ve got a brand new song from Engines today for you! Engines are a five piece noisy indie/punk rock band from Chicago. Originally conceived as a solo project for Philadelphia-based songwriter Craig Woods (Towers, Elder, Peter and Craig, Two Piece Fest) under the moniker Hot Bagels, Woods moved to Chicago in 2014 and soon recruited fellow east coast transplants Lee Zickwolf (Ribbonhead, Costanza) and Jeff Twietmeyer (Almost Argyle) and Chicago native Justin Wexler (Stillwell, Forge Again Records) as permanent fixtures of the band.
After two years of performing and writing as a four piece, they decided to add a full-time vocalist to the mix. Emily Jancetic (Holy Roman Empire, Longdistancerunner), once lovingly described as the “the Kelly Clarkson of post-hardcore” by All Music Guide, joined in 2016.
You can check out ‘The Silence’ taken from their upcoming record ‘Obsolete’ below:
Obsolete is available digitally and on limited edition vinyl from these five killer DIY labels: Forge Again Records, Killer Tofu Records, Middle Man Records, 4UBRO Records, and Be Happy Records and is out in August.
