Boston band Teenender is a long missed dose of young heartbreak, just like their name suggests. Although their sound is definitely reminiscent of 80’s synth-pop groups as well as indie counterparts from this generation (The 1975, Bad Suns, Haim), they manage to sound quite like no one else. On their sweet four-track EP called Kissed, they deliver pop songs with sentiments that aren’t far from mainstream boy bands, but come across as completely honest. Maybe it’s because there are so few like them in the scene, but Teenender definitely has a certain charm that makes their fun pop sound a necessary summer throwback. – Allie Miller
