Tweens
These Cincinnati trash-pop scrappers peg themselves as doo-wop among other descriptors, which is a little misleading if you associate doo-wop with smooth, scrubbed-up vocal groups in highly controlled settings. Early demo โBe Meanโ bears the specter of Spector, sure, but Tweens specialize in rocket-fueled ragers like โRattle&Rollin'โ and โDonโt Wait Up.โ Their debut LP, due early next year on Frenchkiss, promises to be among 2014โs most uncouth pleasure bombs, equal parts catchy, jacked-up, and jagged. โ Chris
