Album Notes The Pink Spiders: Matt Friction (vocals, guitar); Jon Decious (bass guitar); Bob Ferrari (drums). Hurtling out of Nashville like a pink meteor wearing dark shades, the Pink Spiders' major label debut is a perfect pop confection. The trio is made up of guitarist and vocalist Matt Friction, bassist Jon Decious, and Bob Ferrari, the self-proclaimed "World's Greatest Drummer." Produced by the Cars' Ric Ocasek, TEENAGE GRAFFITI melds rock, punk, and pop with perfect pitch, creating a melodic, guitar-driven sound that's infectious and endlessly energizing. "Hollywood Fix" is shimmering power-punk that one can't help smiling at, even if the lyrics are about chain smoking and loving danger. "Little Razorblade" is guitar pop with a melancholy lilt that asks that you, "Don't call it a crush, baby." This is a band that released an EP entitled THE PINK SPIDERS ARE TAKING OVER!, and it looks like they just might, one rock song at a time.
Editorial Reviews 4 out of 5 -- Dangerous enough for outcasts but safe enough for suburbia, the Pink Spiders have crafted a great album with TEENAGE GRAFFITI. Alternative Press
[Ocasek's] production gives this confection the ideal blend of sweetness and crunch. -- Grade: B+ Entertainment Weekly
