Teen Bop Dream (FBK-016)
CD/LP
$10.00 - free poster

The Soda Pop Kids have carved themselves a permanent name in Portland punk history in recent years with their bubblegum punk sound and charismatic live show. With refreshing songs and a style all their own, singer Jonny P, lead guitarist Diet D, rhythm guitarist Zachariah Brookswith, bassist Tony Mengis (ex-Riffs front man), and drummer Alan dive headfirst into the very essence of good times rock ‘n’ roll. They seamlessly combine the rough punk edge of the Dead Boys and the New York Dolls, the infectious rock ‘n’ roll rhythms of Little Richard and Chuck Berry, and the ‘60s bubblegum pop of Phil Spector’s girl groups – but gone wild.

The boy’s second album is one of the most fun and infectious collection of songs to listen to in years, guaranteed! Produced by Pat Kearns (The Exploding Hearts, Clorox Girls), Teen Bop Dream unleashes the band’s full potential upon eager fans like one big temper tantrum. You cannot go wrong with songs like the get-up-and-party “Saturday Everyday”, the pop punk workings of “Fell in Love at the Arcade”, the nostalgic ballad “Another Cigarette Ends”, and the uber-fun punk of “The Soda Pop Sting”. Don’t be late for the non-stop till you drop Teen Bop Dream!
