Teenage Lovers - "Number One" Teenage Lovers is the side-band of Max McMillen of The Smith Westerns , and this track is the A-side from a new 73 on Randy Records . (via Transparent and Rose Quartz )
When he's not staggering around owning the stage as The Smith Westerns precocious guitarist extraordinaire who all the girls want to kiss and all the guys want to be, enfant terrible Max McMillen returns to suburban life as a reckless college kid and lets out all his female frustrations with some loosened-up adolescent outpourings under the oh so apt guise of Teenage Lovers .

En bons nerds, la toile est un merveilleux terrain de chasse. Le Breaking Sound du webzine Victim of Time de cette semaine ne pouvait donc pas nous échapper. Teenage Lovers est le projet solo du jeune guitariste Max McMillen des Smith Westerns . Un 73 éponyme enregistré dans sa piaule de Chicago et qui a le grand mérite de réveiller la pop underground. Production cheapos et arrangements pop tout simplement déments, classe ce 73 dans la lignée de ceux de No Bunny. McMillen nous livre là de quoi faire danser les [...]
