Secret underground societies.
Battles between super-powered heroes and villains. Metaphorical and literal deals with the Devil. Buried time capsules filled with ancient wisdom. All of these things, along with a hundred-year curse and one man’s struggle to find meaning and hope, play a role in The League Of Tomorrow, the epic new album by San Francisco’s Karate High School. The disc serves as a follow-up to the group’s 2006 full-length indie-label debut, Arcade Rock, which most notably featured the underground fan favorites “Good News And Bad News” and “Sweep The Leg.”
As singer/songwriter Paul McGuire explains, The League Of Tomorrow is “one complete story told over the course of eleven songs,” chronicling the adventures of characters he created in his graphic novel of the same name. “I’m a huge comic book nerd, and I firmly believe that comics are modern American mythology. I wanted to write a record that told a specific story with themes of love, self-discovery, and destiny, and I found that super-powered beings are perfect for that sorta thing”
