Dark Thoughts – Highway To The End LP

While it's been 6 years since Dark Thoughts since last released a record, the worls has gone to shit but for 16 minutes, Dark Thoughts drag you back into the sun. We couldn't be happier and excited to help release their fourth LP (the always killer Stupid Bag Records will take care of the vinyl in the US). Dark Thoughts mean everything to me, this is punk with one boot in 1978 and the other in tomorrow. They have the perfect knack of writing perfect 2 minute punk gems. Whilst Jim's lyrics can be deeply personal, there is always hope, things are gonna get better aren't they? "Everybody falls off the rails, for a little while", absolutely. The songs touch on friendship, love, loyalty, dealing with grief. But more importantly hope. They blitz through 11 songs on Highway to the End in 16 minutes, but hey, you can just lift the needle and start again. Like all the best records. As with every record, Amy steals it, "ok stay where you are, we're gonna do one more" Fall back in love with Dark Thoughts.
