The Teenagers - Reality Check - mp3 review
I was first introduced to The Teenagers by a serendipitous visit to hype machine (www.hypem.com) last summer. What attracted me to them was not blog hype or buzz as I had never heard of the band, but rather a suspiciously all too appropriate song title. It would be ungentlemanly of me to elaborate. While the track was a remix it put a smile on my face in a bleak time in my life and I’ve been a fan of The Teenagers ever since. This month saw the release of their debut full length, Reality Check, on Merok. Sardonic electro pop from 3 Parisian 20 somethings, lead singer Quentin Delafon, guitarist / synth man Dorian Dumont and bassist Michael Szpiner. From what I’ve been able to gather the record is only available digitally until its physical release date on March 18th.

This is one of my favorite new records. They are playing this Sat @ Josh’s Fixed party. Can’t go cause I’m going to be at Stanton, but should be a rad show.

Everyone hates teenagers.
This stuff sucks and by sucks I mean it’s really good. I too like these tracks. Yay for new music that doesn’t blow.

I hear a little bit of Phoenix in their sound. Not that that is bad. More like Phoenix when they became more Strokes like. French, eh? Not French Canadian? And dude is a weird talker, which I dig.

how can you go wrong with lyrics like these:
last week, i flew to san diego to see my auntie.
on day one, i met her hot step-daughter.
she’s a cheerleader, she’s a virgin, and she’s really tan.
as she stepped out of her massive car,
i could only notice she was more than fuckable.
i think she was coming back from the game or something,
’cause she was holding those silly pom-poms.
one day two, i fucked her, and it was wild.
she’s such a slut.
[chorus]
i fucked my american cunt
