Psychic Teens released their debut digital 7” single last month, and it seems that the trio has no problem laying their balls on the table for all to see. The ominous bass line and jagged guitar work that opens “Yung” hints at the band’s leanings to get loud and noisy. Cavernous vocals momentarily takeover the track with a Jim Morrsion-like (I’m-fucked-up-and-ranting-like-a-lunatic-but-in-a-good-way) swagger before the band unleashes a barrage of sonic artillery on your eardrums that is probably meant to scare away the weak and destroy the feeble. The experimental track has me equally impressed and intrigued about what the gang will have for us next. On the flipside, “CbbK” also exudes badass-ness that is more straightforward but still maintains the slightly unhinged quality that Psychic Teens is surprisingly able to capture on their debut recordings (with I’m guessing many thanks to Bruce Howze, who laid down the tracks at Red Planet Sound). You can download the digital 7” single for FREE HERE (I already did). The band will be taking a brief break to prepare a couple of physical releases and write some new tunes so you might want to swing by Kung Fu Necktie early this Saturday when Psychic Teens open for Yob and Dark Castle. – Q.D.
