It’s been a fun ride watching the rise of local gothic post-punk trio Psychic Teens. From the air of mystery around their debut tracks “YUNG” and “CbbK,” to their victory in our Featured Artist(s) Poll, to the band becoming one of the Top Performers in our annual Best Emerging Artist Year End Poll, it’s always been apparent to our staff that Psychic Teens is a seriously dark band with a bright future. And now with the group stepping into the national spotlight as one of Spin’s “Best New Artists of August 2013,” it won’t hopefully be long before the rest of the world takes notice and joins us on this ride. If you haven’t yet, then you can start this evening when they celebrate the release of their latest full-length record COME (SRA Records) at Center City’s Long In The Tooth. You still have an opportunity to be ahead of the rest of the curve by grabbing your copy tonight before its official release next week. Long In The Tooth, 2027 Sansom St., 9pm, Free, All Ages – Alexis V.
