When it's good, Reality Check can be Hewitt good. Love No", also given an optimistic electro-house remix by Spain's Delorean, is another "Homecoming"-style two-part conversation, with Delafon this time standing in for both boy and girl ("That movie Showgirls ? I can't believe you're watching it again ") as a battle of the sexes ends in cynical ceasefire. But It's OK to stay with you/ I'm not in love, oh, oh," he sings.

Their debut album Reality Check was released in the UK on 17 March 2008 and 18 March 2008 in the rest of Europe, the NME praised the bands self-aware, smart sentiments, played out against a backdrop of lush, danceable, huggable pop. They have been said to sound like Kraftwerk doing the soundtrack to a porno film Their music is a mix of a sound, comical lyrics. During 2008 The Teenagers toured the globe to promote their debut album Reality Check and they played at the Reading Festival, at Glastonbury and Summersonic and have been invited as a support band by Vampire Weekend in the US and Europe. com Interview at Comfortcomes. 10.

Similar to most filthy mouthed teens, "Reality Check" is full of foul innuendos and lyrics that would make Serge Gainsbourg blush. With its nonchalant and biting humor, this record is a 21st Century lo-fi French pop backdrop, awash in guitar hooks and soaring electro synth riffs.

Album by The Teenagers. Love No. Feeling Better. III. End Of The Road. Starlett Johansson (Rory Phillips Remix).

Album · 2008 · 12 Songs. Their attention-getting singles (included here), Homecoming, F Nicole, and Starlet Johansson, are spot-on totems to confused and frustrated young lust, and they don’t mince words. The synths crackle and soar, the guitars crack like whips, and vocalist Quentin Delafon pours on the faux sincerity or the droll cool as needed.

The Teenagers, Reality Check. In theory, the Teenagers are completely wrong: three non-teenage males who revel in gratuitous swearing and lust after anything in a skirt, and have based a whole debut album on it. It's not as though their musical genius compensates for their idiocy - the trio have only just mastered drum machine and guitar, while "singer" Quentin Delafon's entire range begins and ends with a sulky monotone.

Has there ever been a more evocative name for a pop band? Pop music owes its success to the obsessions of teenage fanatics who after its emergence in the 1950s dragged it through a thousand splintering sub-genres and into the laps of MTV executives and world tours. The way their wispy accents make greasy sound like greezy on "Love No" is worth the album alone. That Reality Check draws it’s inspirations from the 80s, but also France's über-cool Kitsuné and Ed Banger scenes (they are regular touring partners of Justice) shows that they have a Blondie-style ability to mix art, disco and pop. Quite how the Teenagers have stumbled across themselves is an enigma.
