Dark Thoughts make fast music, but that doesn’t mean they make it quickly. For a long time now, the Philadelphia DIY rippers have been cranking out the sort of elemental punk rock that seems to be a mostly lost recipe. They are true Ramones devotees.

Dark Thoughts have never stopped playing shows, but we haven’t heard from them in a while. They released Must Be Nice, their third album, in the waning days of 2019. Now, they’re back with a few new bangers.
