Vinyl LP pressing. 2016 release. Dark Blue follows up their debut Pure Reality with Start Of The World-a soundtrack of a decaying United States. Each song drips with the reality of atrocities happening all around us. John Sharkey III (vocals, guitar) pushes the band far beyond the post-punk-meets-oi sound they perfected on their earlier releases, and adds elements of Britpop and shoegaze. Recorded by Jeff Zeigler (Kurt Vile, Nothing), this pop album makes no apologies. Boot-stomping opener "Union of Buffoons" sets the political tone with an anthem for workers' rights, the biting lyrics referring to human expendability in the face of deregulation and stagnancy of labor rights. "Bombs on the Beach" evokes a playful innocence with '50s doo-wop and surf rock, but the lyrics tear through any cheerfulness and describe the dropping of missiles on a beach of unsuspecting Palestinian children. Other tracks such as "Be Gone Everyone" and "Western Front" highlight the solid rhythm section of Michael Sneeriger (drums, Strand of Oaks) and Andrew Mackie Nelson (bass, Ceremony). Start Of The World is the kind of record that the band has always promised: a collection of smart, fully realized songs that tell stories. With the world falling apart around us, Dark Blue continues to give a voice to neglected perspectives, many which are unnerving but necessary to hear.

Hanes Pullover Hoodie (Red)
Size: Large, Color: Deep Red
​Pros: ​The red color is vibrant and looks great out of the box. ​Initial fit is decent. ​Cons: ​Excessive Shedding: The "fuzz" and inner lining fibers get absolutely everywhere. It sticks to your undershirt, your hair, and even the furniture. It’s a constant annoyance that doesn't seem to stop even after the first wear. ​Color Bleeding: The dye runs significantly. If you aren't extremely careful in the wash, it will ruin anything lighter than it, and you'll notice the vibrancy of the red fading faster than expected. ​Low Durability: Between the shedding and the dye issues, the quality just isn't there for long-term use. ​Final Verdict: I’d give this a 3/5 at best. While it’s an affordable basic, the mess it leaves behind and the hassle of the dye running make it more of a headache than it’s worth. I’d recommend looking for something with a higher-quality fleece lining that won't leave you covered in red lint.

Comfortable!
Size: 12.5 Big Kid, Color: Purple/Turq
My daughter loves these. She’s5. We got the size 12.5 and they fit her well.. a little space between her toes and the tip of the shoe but just the right amount. She says they are comfortable and good for her PE class and playing outside. We got the blue and then I ordered the black cause she loved them so much. They were on a great sale too!

Truly fits wide feet!!
Size: 6 Wide Big Kid, Color: Purple/Turq
Runs true to size in length, and the wide is actually wide enough for my 10yo's duck feet!! My daughter wears a 5.5/6 so we ordered 6wide - great fit and nice colors! We love the Saucony sneakers that have the alternative closure aka velcro straps bc my girls still struggles tying laces tight!!
