San Francisco ska-core punks Sad Snack drop their new single “Vending Machine” via Sell The Heart Records, and it’s everything you want from a modern ska-punk track — loud, brassy, unhinged, and ridiculously fun.
The song bursts open with bouncy offbeat guitars and punchy horns before slamming into a high-energy punk chorus that feels like total chaos in the best way. It’s fast, funny, and ferocious — a mix of ska groove and hardcore bite that turns the band’s humor into pure adrenaline.
Lyrically, “Vending Machine” plays with frustration and absurdity — craving something simple, smashing against systems that never quite deliver. It’s tongue-in-cheek, but sharp in its social bite, showing Sad Snack’s knack for turning humor into catharsis.
With “Vending Machine,” the Bay Area crew prove once again that ska-core can still sound fresh, unpredictable, and totally alive. Think Less Than Jake energy meets early Capdown grit — all packed into one chaotic, horn-fueled snack.
