A Few of Our Favorite Things: The Teen Age

When we ask some of our favorite bands to share some of their favorite things with us, it allows all of us to get a glimpse (not to get all VH1) of what goes on behind the music. The Teen Age, a band who self-describes its sound as “doo wop garage”, didn’t disappoint with its list. There’s some doo wop, some garage, a few shades of punk — just like their music. Their EP Ways To Adapt, inhabits that small percentage of records that are breakup albums, but don’t really feel that way. Here, you may as well dance away the heartache. Get Ways To Adapt here, and read about The Teen Age’s favorite things below, and celebrate their EP release with them tomorrow (6/4) at Pianos!

“I was sayin’ let me out of here before I was
Even born, it’s such a gamble when you get a face
It’s fascinatin’ to observe what the mirror does
But when I dine it’s for the wall that I set a place”

Amazing sandwich shop in Fishtown, Philadelphia. We ate here in a blizzard.
