Boston ska-punk group Big D and the Kids Table share details of their first new album in five years. Soon to be their 11th studio album, The Good Ole American Saturday Night is slated to arrive June 12 through SideOneDummy Records. Alongside the album’s announcement, the band shares the album’s lead single and music video, “Whiplash.”
“What would you do if you walked into a room and saw your roommate in bed with your girlfriend?” vocalist David McWane says. “Well, if you want to know the rest of the story, cue up ‘Whiplash!'”
With over 40 years of experience in the ska punk scene, Big D and the Kids Table describe The Good Ole American Saturday Night as the ultimate message for love and optimism. Fueled by the group’s everlasting DIY punk ethos, the record strives for positivity in a world that often encourages pessimism.
“As a lyricist, I cannot take serious songs seriously,” McWane says. “I like music to take me to a fun place, like the Beastie Boys. I’m a hardcore kid and a Little Richard fan, so I just want to bring the party and wake everybody up.”
