Indie Classic!: Teenage Fanclub Bandwagonesque [1991]
Glasgow power-pop trailblazers Teenage Fanclub are returning to Aotearoa for a headline show at Auckland's Powerstation this February. Masters of effervescent guitar hooks and singalong choruses, Teenage Fanclub rose to international fame in the heady alt-guitar loving days of the early nineties, with infectiously catchy gems scattered through nearly a dozen studio albums including A Catholic Education, Bandwagonesque, Thirteen and Grand Prix. Along with their own songs the band released significant collaborative cuts with US rappers De La Soul and US indie figurehead Jad Fair (Half Japanese). The long-running band have never stopped performing and recording over a career spanning almost thirty years, and are celebrating this month's vinyl re-issue of five records originally released between 1991 to 2000 on Creation Records.
