Release date: 13-03-2008 2008 UK 12-track vinyl LP - When Parisian trio The Teenagers burst into our lives with the 'Homecoming' EP in 2007, with its no holds barred lyrics set to a gentle lo-fi backdrop, we all fell in love; not just with them, but with everything they see [and you see] through their teen-tinted glasses; and now with their debut album 'Reality Check', we can all have a piece of their nostalgic humorous world as they continue with their cleverly crafted brand of synth-pop with candid lyrics about everything you say – but never hear on a record; includes the single 'Love No' Tracks: 01. Homecoming 02. Love No 03. Feeling Better 04. Starlett Johannson 05. Streets Of Paris 06. Make It Happen 07. Wheel Of Fortune 08. Fuck Nicole 09. French Kiss 10. Sunset Beach 11. III 12. End Of The Road Lead singer Quentin Delafon, guitarist/synth man Dorian Dumont and bassist Michael Szpiner remind us what it’s like to be young. Between the three of them they shared a broad breadth of interests, including Slayer, M83, Weezer, Jacques Le Cont, Nirvana, Dillinger Escape Plan, Madonna and Beverley Hills 90210. Now on their debut album, ‘Reality Check’, we can all have a piece of their nostalgic humorous world. Featuring new single ‘Love No’, The Teenagers continue with their cleverly crafted brand of synth-pop with candid lyrics about everything you say – but never hear on a record. "A sound of Velvet Underground simplicity and Jacques Lu Cont attitude, stuck in a blender with a gulp a beer, a dollop of sleaze and healthy sprinkle of reality bites" - POP "Think Serge Gainsbourg spitting Gauloises bile at Moon Unit… brilliant …unforgettable" - NME
