River City High – Not Enough Saturday Nights

October 31, 2006 By Tyler Hayes Leave a Comment

River City High

Artist: River City High
Album: Not Enough Saturday Nights
Label: Takeover Records
Purchase: Download Punk
Release Date: November 14, 2006

Overall: 7.8
Music: 8.0
Lyrics: 7.0
Production: 8.7

River City High has been a band going at it for years but has never really been mainstream or hugely popular, which is funny because they have plenty of single worthy songs on the records they put out. If you have not heard of River City High then I urge you to go check out the newest release, or anything you can get a hold of.

I guess the thing with the new record “Not Enough Saturday Nights” is that it is just more material from the band not different material. That isn’t a bad thing, but the record just doesn’t really offer anything new. The songs while all slightly different, flow nicely and keep the record moving. Rarely becoming dull.

The vocals and the summer melodies are the best part of River City High by far. The scratchy vocals are very reminiscent of Rancid’s “â┚¬Ã‚¦And Out Come The Wolves” and man do I love the way the vocals sound. The melodies on most of the songs are ones that beg to be played on a summer blowing through. River City High keep the hooks coming all through out “Not Enough Saturday Night’s”. Like I said earlier if you have not heard of the band before please go check them out. The band plays some good catchy rock n roll. If you have heard of the band before and are a fan, then you should still be fan because there isn’t anything here that they probably haven’t done already.

Track Listing
1. Dogwood Queen
2. Bastard
3. Amy
4. Pass That Riff
5. Understand
6. We Want the Radio
7. Run Run Run
8. A Better Day
9. The Hard Way
10. Be There
11. This Times the Last
12. Makes No Difference

The band is streaming about 7 songs on their Purevolume Site
