Sincere Engineer

Sincere Engineer is the project of Deanna Belos, a Chicago pop punk songwriter known for turning everyday anxieties into hooky, self-deprecating anthems. The band's sound sits in that indie punk and midwest emo lane, sharp guitar tones paired with lyrics that feel like reading someone's diary out loud. They've built a steady following through DIY touring and a knack for choruses that stick.

They've got a Colorado date coming up at Marquis, worth catching if you're into punk that's equal parts cathartic and catchy.
