So I remember seeing Saturday Supercade back in like 1998 with the Broadways somewhere just across the river from Louisville. I think it was way back in the woods of Jeffersonville, IN and I think that Pinewood Derby may have also played. I even have there album A Study In Adult Contemporary Punk Rock lying around somewhere. Those were the days, huh?
Anyhow, Chip from Saturday Supercade is now playing in a band called Young Hearts and they play some of the most amazing pop-punk you’ve ever heard. They have an EP out called The Fight that is gritty, shitty, technical, and melodic. It is just about everything you could possibly want from a pop-punk record. Amy thinks they sound like Digger but a little beefier and more raucous and I think that sounds about right.
The only issue I have with the EP is that at only 4 songs, I have to play it over and over and over. Evidently Young Hearts also features ex-members of Dear Tonight. I’m not familiar with ‘em, but they were supposedly pretty good too. Whatever the band members’ pedigrees, on The Fight Young Hearts dishes out hella impassioned hardcore-influenced pop-punk that will appeal to fans of bands like Broadway Calls and Latterman as well as Digger, Bouncing Souls, and Weston. Cheers!
