Saturday Night Karaoke plays a lovable, catchy, cutesy brand of pop punk all the way from Ban-fucking-Dung, Indonesia. Duh! is their CDR that came out early this year -- it rules. They certainly channel old favorites such as MTX and The Ergs. I'm not drawing the comparison to the latter because of the fact that singer/songwriter Prabu Pramayougha also happens to play drums from time to time for the band, nor the fact that his nasally, bubbly voice is mysteriously reminiscent to that of Mikey Erg, but because of the short and sweet love songs on this release.
Tracks one, three, and five are the only notable songs on the disc; 'Kumar Vs. Abraham' and 'Theme for Jocks Holocaust' are short, thrashy numbers that do little more than help transition between songs. The added Descendents covers at the end of the disc are a nice touch, though. They've also got a promo with a couple more songs on it and a four-song Ergs tribute EP. However, word on the street is that they are recording five brand spankin' new songs as we speak.
Recommended track: Fresh Man Year Sucks
FFO: The Ergs, Descendents, Early-era Green Day
Zach.
It's really good.
