ABOUT THIS BAND

The third album by Teenage Tom Petties – and confusingly their second self-titled record – is out 02/08/24 on cassette and digital through Safe Suburban Home and Repeating Cloud.

The record sees singer, guitarist Tom Brown return to the bedroom after the full-band studio fuzz-fest of last year’s Hotbox Daydream (“Every song could’ve been a single.” Rosy Overdrive).

Driven by a long-time desire to make an alt-rock 90’s powerpop record, S/T 2 takes the first Fountains Of Wayne album, blows out the amps and stirs in some Superdrag and that much-maligned band that begins with a ‘W’. And though Brown recorded at home, technology did allow for fellow TTP members Jim Quinn (bass) and Galen Richmond (BVs) to join the party.

Lyrically you'll find more storytelling and detachment than on the previous records: whether it’s the US-tour-gone-wrong of ‘Kissed Me In Seattle’ or the high-concept film idea of ‘Ex Gf Day’. Biographical elements can't help but sneak through, though – especially in the many references to America and its influence on all TTP’s music.

Mixed by Tom and Jack Shirley (Tony Molina, Jeff Rosenstock, Diners) to capture that crisp and big 90’s sound while remaining full of DIY buzzes and hums, S/T 2 doesn’t hang around. Its 11 songs are over and done in 25 minutes. But for that short time, you’re transported to wherever the sun is shining in suburbia.
