Ramones, and Nirvana. Although their latest work has a more pop sound to it, Sahara Hotnights have always been influenced by classic rock and punk bands. When the Kiss & Tell album was released, many accustomed to the unforgiving stance of Jennie Bomb balked at their attempt to make an album that was dance crafty. However, Maria Andersson, described the Jennie Bomb album as having a "slick sound to the rock songs, while Kiss and Tell has a raw sound to the pop songs." The band's fifth album, Sparks, a covers collection restyled by the band, was released in 2009. In 2011, the band released its sixth album, eponymously titled Sahara Hotnights. The band later went on a long hiatus in 2011. During early 2019, band members put out pictures from the studio. A new single Reverie was released on 18 February 2022 and their seventh album Love In A Time Of Low Expectations was released on 6 May 2022.
