It’s hard to believe fresh-faced pogo punks Teenage Bottlerocket celebrated their 25th anniversary last year. Since their inception way back in 2000, there has been one word best
suited to describe them: ‘Rad’.
Teenage Bottlerocket are the epitome of rad. ‘Stay Rad!’ shows a slightly different side of Teenage Bottlerocket, putting their songwriting progression and personal growth on full display, while remaining a quintessential Teenage Bottlerocket album - complete with enthralling melodies, perfect harmonies and their trademark breakneck down strumming.
As with every Teenage Bottlerocket record, ‘Stay Rad!’ has a good mix of silly and serious, but the overriding sentiment is one that echoes its title. From the incredibly catchy and clever ‘I Wanna Be a Dog’ to the heartfelt hit ‘Everything to Me’, ‘Stay Rad!’ checks all the boxes of classic Teenage Bottlerocket.
At the same time, the band manage to stretch their boundaries on the riffy ode to Norwegian black metal, ‘Creature from The Black Metal Lagoon’ and the hardcore influenced ‘The First Time That I Did Acid Was the Last Time That I Did Acid’.
Top to bottom, ‘Stay Rad!’ meets expectations and shatters them with plenty of new twists for the legions of Teenage Bottlerocket faithful.
