Punk/Hardcore On Wax: DARK THOUGHTS Return with "DO YOU DREAM?" B/W "IT'S TOO LATE" 7-inch Single (Peterwalkee Records)


Since we last featured Philly-based D.I.Y. Pop-Punks DARK THOUGHTS, they've self-released a self-titled 2016 album and its 2018 follow-up, DARK THOUGHTS AT WORK. Now, it appears as though Daniel Cox, Amy Opsasnick & Jim Shomo have joined forces with Peterwalkee Records, Stupid Bag Records, and Drunken Sailor Records for the roll-out and eventual release of their third full-length album, MUST BE NICE. Ahead of MUST BE NICE, which will tentatively drop January 2020, DARK THOUGHTS have let loose their new single from the album, "DO YOU DREAM?" on both pink and black 7-inch, as well as digitally on Bandcamp. Side B of said 7-inch/digital single features a non-album track entitled "IT'S TOO LATE." It first became available on Halloween on 100 pink and 400 black vinyl 7-inches, but it appears as though, now, the pink vinyl has completely sold out. However, Peterwalkee Records still have a mass (yet limited) number of black 7-inches available to purchase for just $6.00, plus, Shipping & Handling. "DO YOU DREAM?" B/W "IT'S TOO LATE," along with DARK THOUGHTS AT WORK LP, DARK THOUGHTS S/T LP, and a DARK THOUGHTS BOTTLE OPENER are now available directly from DARK THOUGHTS through their Big Cartel page, as well.


"DARK THOUGHTS - "DO YOU DREAM?" 7": A classic 45RPM 7" single from Philadelphia Pop Rock Punks, DARK THOUGHTS. This single for the forthcoming full-length LP entitled MUST BE NICE (coming January 2020 on Stupid Bag Records/Drunken Sailor Records) contains two fantastic tracks of the blazing unforgettably catchy Power Pop Rock "N" Roll you've come to expect from this fierce trio. Side A features "DO YOU DREAM?" (Alternate 7"-only Mix) an instant classic, you'll immediately keep dropping the needle back to Start over and over again! Side B includes the exclusive 7"-only track, "IT'S TOO LATE," another 2-minute Pop Rock fist punch earworm to your brainpan. Pop made by Punks. It's not just "good," it's "Ramones good."

PRESSING STATS: First Pressing is limited to 500 copies (400 on BLACK Vinyl, 100 on PINK Vinyl) PINK VINYL IS SOLD OUT!!! Coming soon from Peterwalkee Records, a NEW 45RPM single from DARK THOUGHTS!
