Teenage Bigfoot (https://www.facebook.com/teenagebigfoot/) are a trio from Philadelphia featuring Tiffany Tavella (bass/vocals), Joe Gdowik (guitar/vocals) & Jake Wunderlich (drums). They've been plying their fun, 90's pop punk influenced wares since 2013 and have built up a solid back catalogue of music (https://teenagebigfoot.bandcamp.com/). Their latest release is a new album titled Weapons Against Darkness and it's pretty damn impressive.
Pop punk influenced it may be but it's the powerful, punchy brand of pop punk, not the anodyne kind. I played I Can't See on the show a few week's ago and the rest of the album lives up to that teaser track. It's pacy, bounce around party music for punks who want to go to a show and get all sweaty.
It's available now on Bloated Kat Records as a name your price download : https://bloatedkatrecords.bandcamp.com/album/weapons-against-darkness
This is another highlight, it's titled The CIA Killed Bill Hicks...
"It's just a ride; life's but a dream--"
said the preacher man from Georgia, of no faith.
He spoke of love and corporate greed,
they put a bullet 'tween his eyes for irony.
Drowning in ads and dim lit screens,
there was no need for convincing.
He just wanted to tell the truth.
Young in years, but miles ahead,
they didn't like the things he said.
The CIA killed Bill Hicks.
They blamed it on a life unclean,
traded a coke habit for nights of desert trips.
He met with gods and UFOs,
but they knew his mind was just another threat.
Drowning in ads and dim lit screens,
there was no need for convincing.
He just wanted to tell the truth.
Young in years, but miles ahead,
they didn't like the things he said.
The CIA killed Bill Hicks.
