Tiny Engines Records are an Independent label based in Charlotte, Carolinas formed in 2008 their releases to date during 2014 include:
The Hotelier – “Home, Like Noplace There Is”, Cayetana – “Nervous Like Me”, Mannequin Pussy – “Gypsy Pervert” expected for 2015 Releases: Runaway Brother, Sweet John Bloom, Places To Hide
If 2014 was the year that the emo revival reached its peak, then Tiny Engines was at the very top: the Hotelier’s “Home, Like Noplace There Is” will surely go down as the defining emo record of the decade, and Dikembe released the Brand New album that we’ve all been waiting for. But their success didn’t end there. They championed vital strains of punk, from Cayetana’s blearingly honest debut “Nervous Like Me” to Mannequin Pussy’s scuzzy, discordant “Gypsy Pervert”. Their shorter releases gave them even more breadth: Beach Slang’s life-affirming pair of EPs, It Looks Sad’s mumbling post-punk debut, and Places To Hide’s vulnerable and irresistible “Wild N Soft” were all refreshingly different while still feeling as though they belonged in the same family. Co-founders Will Miller and Chuck Daley are two of the best in the business, and they both have a hell of an ear for discovering untapped talent. Tiny Engines Records did more good for punk and emo this year than anyone else — expect them to keep doing so for a long while
