Dark Blue "Pure Reality" CD

Comprised of members of Clockcleaner, Ceremony, Paint It Black and Strand Of Oaks, Philadelphia's Dark Blue deliver their first full-length which musically retains the same grandiose delivery and burly, wide-open guitar sound that was found on earlier releases by such UK '80s bands as The Comsat Angels, The Stone Roses, Blitz, and Australia's The Church. The combination of Dark Blue's sweeping, majestic sound and the deep desperation found in vocalist Sharkey's voice and lyrics is something that is matchless, harrowing and unrelenting.
