After first gaining acclaim for a dense, melodic sound that anticipated the coming emergence of grunge, Scotlands Teenage Fanclub spent the remainder of their career as torch-bearers for the power pop revival, unparalleled among their generation for both their unwavering adherence to and brilliant reinvention of the classic guitar pop of vintage acts like Big Star and Badfinger. Blessed with the talents of three formidable singers and songwriters (Gerard Love, Raymond McGinley, and Norman Blake , all sharing an unerring knack for crafting immediately infectious melodies), Teenage Fanclubs radiant brand of pop classicism

enjoyed only a brief moment of commercial and critical vogue, and over time, the bands devotion to its unapologetically old-fashioned sensibility yielded a dwindling fan base and virtually non-existent record sales. Nevertheless, almost none of their contemporaries can claim either Teenage Fanclubs consistency or longevity  though never groundbreaking or hip, their music possesses a timelessness and accessibility matched by few.
