What Teen Pop Should Be, October 30, 1999
By A Customer
If you're anything like me, you're really bored of the blandness of the prefab teen idols that currently pollute MTV and the airwaves. All of them sing the same songs, which sound like heartsick pleas or begging for forgiveness. Therefore, I find it refreshing to see a group of teenagers unapologetically arrogant.I had seen the video for "In Your Car" on M2, and I thought the song was catchy. Soon, I went out and bought the album, listened to "In Your Car", a couple of other songs, and stashed it away, where it sat for months. Later, I got the album out again and listened to the other tracks, and the music started to grow on me. I ended up liking "The People We Want" more than I liked "In Your Car". At first, I kinda thought they were a contemporary Blondie, but when the album grew on me, I could hear a young David Bowie, The Who, and Iggy Pop as well. Let's hope that the young teen popsters of tommorrow will discover this CD- along with the work of Kenickie's peers- Bis and The Donnas- so that history won't repeat itself.
