Waterslide / SP / Bloated Kat / Monster Zero / Quickening (2021)
Saturday Night Karaoke are a band that has been cranking out a good amount of releases over the past few years, this 7" is their most recent and was released on quite a few labels from around the world. So chances are if you are reading this, there's probably a label close by that you could pick this up from if you wanted it.
I've written about Saturday Night Karaoke before and I kind of stand by my prior statements that they really feel like a Mutant Pop band to me. They've got that Ramonesy sing-song version of pop punk going on, but I do really like this particular 7" more than a lot of other bands that go down this path. I hear elements of bands like Walker and there's definitely a kinship with The Hum Hums that I can't not hear.
It's very easy for this style of pop punk to end up sounding kind of generic and just fade into the background, but Saturday Night Karaoke manage to avoid those traps. They write genuinely great pop songs with great hooks, killer backing vocals and sweet, sweet melodies.
