about

“Mixed Signals” is SNG’s latest release since their 2017 EP "Almost A Six-Pack." The new single shows the band’s exploration of a more ”traditional ska” sound inspired by bands like The Skatalites, Hepcat, and The Slackers. This is also the band’s first release with their new bass player, Fernando Mendoza. It was tracked in September 2018 at World Class Audio in Riverside, CA with Shawn Sullivan, and overdubs were done at the band’s home studio in Westminster, CA.

lyrics

Mixed Signals

You said you want me, baby
But now I’m really not so sure
‘Cause days go by, I call -
You don’t pick up, you don’t answer
Now I’m not sayin’
We have to hang out every day
But once a week would be nice
I’ll even drive up to L.A.

When we started, you said you wanted
To be my only one
But now you’re tellin’ me that you only
Just want to have fun
You gotta make up your mind and tell me
What you want to do
‘Cause it makes me so anxious -
All the shit you put me through

My friends say I should play it cool -
Let you make the next move
And if you don’t, I’ll know for sure
That we must be through
I’m sick and tired of figuring out
How to play your stupid game
‘Cause you’re sendin’ me mixed signals
And it’s driving me insane
