Four years after their album Forever, Belgian indie rockers Teen Creeps are back with a new single.
The gruff “No-Show” is a return to form: fuzzy guitar riffs, energetic drums and a dash of melancholy immediately make it clear that the band is still hungry after more than 10 years. A ripping guitar solo is the cherry on the cake. You could call it Dinosaur Jr on speed or a distillate of the best of the Foo Fighters. But equally, you can discern the influence of indie hero Sparklehorse.
So, as always, Teen Creeps eagerly harks back to the nineties. “That’s in our DNA. But we’re not a retro band. We just want to carry the torch. Or at least keep the fire burning,” says Joram De Bock (guitar).
“No-Show” is the first single from the new album Today Is The Day, which will be released on 5 September via [PIAS] Recordings
