REVIEW: Teens s/t EP (self-released)

With one foot planted heavily in the garage rock sound of the 60s and the other in the echo-drenched-punk-psych tendencies of our current day, Teens' debut EP is both exciting, nostalgic and loud as fuck. All the tunes are artfully crafted and they prove to be equally skilled at the art of home recording as well (a necessary prerequisite as far as this blog is concerned) with many of the tracks devolving into feedback loops, amp noise or screaming. This release is already 2 years old, but I'm sure we'll see something else from these Boise boys soon. They appear to be fairly active on the circuit so check'em out if they come to a hovel near you.  They'll be at Treefort Music Fest on 3/24 in Boise, ID with tons of other great acts. Get the EP here.
