Chicago punks Sincere Engineer Sign to Hopeless Records, New Song + Vid for “Trust Me” Out Now

Self-deprecating and with the raw honesty that rips your psyche in two, “Trust Me” explores the heartbreak of feeling defeated, feeling like a failure, constantly making the same mistakes, and digging yourself into a deeper hole. But instead of wallowing in despair, the song is a defiant, candid, call-me-on-my-shit anthem that punches you in the gut and pushes you to be better.

“We are absolutely thrilled to join the Hopeless Records family,” says the band. “And we’re so excited to share our new song called “Trust Me” with everyone! To accompany it, we made a shit DIY music video that probably has our new family thinking “oh no, what have we done?”

The juxtaposition between hopeful expectations and disappointing reality is a theme that singer, Deanna Belos, inhabits throughout her songwriting. Previously signed to Red Scare, their debut album Rhombithian, was lauded by places like Noisey and cemented their place as one of punk’s most ambitious and honest bands. It also caught the attention of The Lawrence Arms, who brought the band on tour with them for support.
