San Francisco “Arcade Rock” band Karate High School just posted the first single from its upcoming album, called “Burning Up For You,” off of The League of Tomorrow, due to be released on September 4. Frontman Paul McGuire wrote the songs on League of Tomorrow based on the adventures of characters in his comic book fantasy of the same name. Secret undergound societies, deals with the devil, buried time capsules filled with secret knowledge and a 100-year curse—these are the themes underlying the band’s latest effort. Deeper and more sincere than a lot of groups who fall into the Arcade Rock genre, KHS’ lyrics deal with the dark issues befitting a serious graphic novel without foregoing the fun. The band plays at Kenmore Lanes’ “Rock-n-Bowl” on Saturday (Aug. 11) at midnight. $5 gets you in, $10 includes bowling too.
