A tripped out band with mesmerizing female vocals crying out through a sea of turbulence. The Pain Teens incorporate backward guitar loops, howling horns, and disturbing samples to initiate a beautiful assault on the human mind. Make sure to check out "RU-486". Any Band that can take the criticized abortion drug and turn it into a catchy pop hook gets my vote of approval.

This review is from: Destroy Me Lover (Audio CD)

The Pain Teens 5th full length cd is mostly about sex in all its most extreme forms, as Bliss Blood's visions of love and seduction burn holes through your soul and Scott Ayers' intense music rocks ever harder than on earlier records, while retaining delay loops and psychedelic heavy rock guitar.
Tales of control like "Cool Your Power" and "Tarpit", sexual obsession in "Dominant Man", searching for sex "Prowling", collide with tales of victims of sexual abuse: "What Lisa Knew" rocks hard while "Body Memory" is like a throbbing nightmare of horrible anticipation with the perpetrator standing outside the victim's bedroom door.
The mood is lightened, though, by a rock-pop ode to the abortion pill, "RU-486" and a cover of "The Story of Isaac" by Leonard Cohen, with scary cut up vocals making their inevitable appearance on "Sexual Anorexia" and the truly disturbing "Shock Treatment" where doctors confess to crimes against their patients.
