It’s a normal teenage occupation isn’t it? Rioting in the streets, vandalising telephone booths and mugging little old pensioners? Not this lot. TEENS (who may in fact be outside the actual demographics) spend their time creating delicious sonic mayhem with an arched eyebrow and a thousand yard stare.
Their new single ‘Like An Animal’ is like a twin set of chainsaws being whirled around the head advancing with bad intent but with a glint of humour hidden behind the baseball mask. I can’t help think of this being the antithesis to the exhortation from The Elephant Man or the song ‘Bodies’ sung by another famous punk band. Nevertheless, it’s visceral stuff and awfully cathartic:
‘Like an Animal’ is out today and available via all the usal streaming and download sites.
The track comes off the band’s forthcoming second album ‘Negative Energy’ through No Sleep Records/Psychedelic Salad Records – you can pre-order below.
TEENS’ next show will be in support of fellow local upstarts Legal Noise, at Launceston’s Royal Oak on Friday August the 29th.
