Eternally underrated Scottish indie band with wonderful melodies and Byrds-influenced harmonies.  

After first gaining acclaim for a dense, melodic sound that anticipated the coming 

emergence of grunge, Scotland's Teenage Fanclub spent the remainder of their 

career as torch bearers for the power pop revival, unparalleled among their generation 

for both their unwavering adherence to and brilliant reinvention of the classic guitar 

pop of vintage acts like Big Star and Badfinger. Blessed with the talents of three 

formidable singers and songwriters (Norman Blake, Gerard Love, and Raymond McGinley, 

all sharing an unerring knack for crafting immediately infectious melodies), 

Teenage Fanclub's radiant brand of pop classicism enjoyed only a brief moment 

of commercial and critical vogue, and over time, the band's devotion to its unapologetically 

old-fashioned sensibility yielded a dwindling fan base and virtually nonexistent 

record sales. Nevertheless, almost none of their contemporaries can claim either 

Teenage Fanclub's consistency or longevity -- though never groundbreaking or hip, 

their music possesses a timelessness and accessibility matched by few

SLEEVE NEAR EX but (please, see pictures and read above description)

The gold standard of the early-'90s power pop revival, in its own way Bandwagoneque 

was as much a benchmark as contemporary records like Nevermind and Loveless; 

though not the generational rallying cry of the former nor the revolutionary sonic 

breakthrough of the latter, Teenage Fanclub's sophomore album nevertheless 

heralded the return of melody and craft, coupled with energy and spirit -- hallmarks 

of much of the greatest rock & roll of the past, and virtues as rare as hen's teeth 

in the years immediately prior to the disc's release. Although its incandescent 

harmonies, lazily immediate songs, and crunching guitars earned it endless 

comparisons to vintage Big Star, Bandwagonesque is in every way a product of its 

own time -- the thick, grungy sound of the Fannies' debut A Catholic Education remains 

intact for gems like "What You Do to Me" (arguably the most brilliantly simpleminded 

love song ever penned) and the instrumental "Satan," while the lyrics of other 

standout moments like "Star Sign" and "Alcoholiday" reflect a laissez faire irony 

and unassuming genius even more emblematic of the moment in question...(AllMusic)
