Teens in Trouble w/ Shrubb, North by North, Andrew Wilco’s American Band

The bright-blazing new creative project of Lizzie Killian (previously of The Glowing Stars and Sputterdoll), Raleigh-based Teens in Trouble refracts the sounds of punk, garage, and dream-pop through a prism of memory, melding past and present with the kind of sun-dappled clarity that can only come from hindsight. Armed with huge guitars, catchy hooks, and disarmingly direct lyricism, Teens in Trouble plays brisk punk-rock that nods to the fuzzed-out, surf-influenced sounds of ‘90s alt-rock idols Weezer and Pixies and ‘60s garage-rock, but is equally informed by Killian’s own years of youth in revolt.
