Title: Underrated on Planet Earth
Product review: By noticing the contemporaries of this band, (like the Ducky Boys, Blanks 77, August Spies, etc,) one might easily think they are just another oi or streetpunk band, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Ping Pong's vocals are slightly reminiscent of Johnny Rotten or Jello Biafra, but any other comparisons stop there. These guys and gal made some of the best, most energetic and fun punk rock of the late 90s, with lyrics that will make you scratch your head and start looking up random and obscure pop culture and historical figures on Wikipedia. I'm not sure what planet the previous reviewer is on where everyone likes the Showcase Showdown, because on the one I'm on, they are one of the most overlooked and underrated punk bands of the past 10 years. This record and "Appetite for Kings" are classics in my book.
