My Teenage Stride,
Night Moves,
Future Ape Tapes,
Knight School
Caledonia Lounge
For something that
started as a "bedroom
recording project,"
Brooklyn-based My
Teenage Stride has come
pretty far. The band has My Teenage Stride
released several acclaimed
records, all without a record label, and even wormed its way into a London Times story
about a mix-tape revival that may or may not exist It sounds like a lot of fuss over a
barid that has never once stepped into a recording studio and at times consists of only
one member, but consistent frontman Jed Smith sees the humor, especially in the genre
ascribed by the Times.
"There's this kind of random made-up thing the London Times was writing about," he
says. 'They thought there was this cohesive scene going on in Brooklyn, and there isn't
any."
The "scene" has to do with what he calls his To- to mid-fi" early-'80s guitar-pop
recordings, like the 1980s C86 cassette compilation released by British music magazine
New Musical Express, featuring bands like Primal Scream, The Wedding Present and The
Soup Dragons.*
"It's quite funny to see the major newspaper from another country have this com
pletely out-of-the-blue cake on this thing, but I guess we're bigger over there," he says.
Although his style of music seems to have a large following in the U.IC, it can still
be difficult to get big anywhere when one admits to very little touring experience, as
Smith does. But his unstructured live shows can be memorable, with formal arrangements
tossed out and more emphasis on a good time.
"! basically kind of throw all [arrangements] out live. I kind of play everything loud
and fast with less regard to the formal structure." he says. "There's definitely more of a
higher energy. It's little bit wilder than it is on record." [Jennifer Gibson]
