The Teenagers - Reality Check (Merok/XL) ***
PARIS trio The Teenagers have already made their mark on the skinny jeans tribe with Homecoming, their filthy gorgeous male/female perspective on certain, erm, encounters.
Their lo-fi electro-pop with a scuzzy guitar twist comes laced with rudely candid words, deadpan delivery and everyday tales of doing too much too young.
Starlet Johansson is pure bubblegum charm, while Wheel of Fortune tones down the skippy optimism in favour of a moody stroll along the Left Bank. Love No restores the mile-wide grin though with its you-can't-say-that lyrics, and Feeling Better is about as apt as it gets.
Trouble is, by the time you get to End of the Road its sickly charms start to wear a little
thin - like going on a school trip and eating all your sweets at once.
