RECENT REVIEWS
ALL MUSIC GUIDE: Everyone Thinks You're the Best is a rocking good time, executed with soul and conviction, and ultimately a wonderful endorsement for a band that must be a blast in a live setting.
BOSTON HERALD: “A†- If you’ve bounced from Marah to the Hold Steady to Art Brut looking to recapture the high you get from discovering fresh, 24-karat rock ’n’ roll, you need to freebase New York’s Teenage Prayers… this Steve Wynn-produced follow-up clobbers cool and catchy with maniacal rock brilliance.
BRUCE WARREN WXPN-PHILLY: Frontman Tim Adams comes with the drama and energy so lacking in indie-rock these days and his brother Terry is adept at riffing on soul music as he is with the classic rock. The songs on this album promise you a bright future should you indulge.
POPMATTERS.COM: Bucking the "nostalgia band" trend by being authentically nostalgic, the Teenage Prayers cause you to give blessings to that raw, purely enthusiastic adolescent music fan in all of us.
BROOKLYN ROCKS: The forthcoming sophomore release from The Teenage Prayers hasn't left my CD player for the last week. The band's music is somewhat of a throwback to the 70's but it touches on all points of the spectrum. There are elements of Cheap Trick, New York Dolls, Queen and California funk-rock on this disc.
UNDERRATED MAGAZINE: If these guys started their own religion, it would get you to stand up and sing. Trust me. I did it.
POPMATTERS.COM: Solomon Burke must have sensed that waft of tension in the Teenage Prayers' irony-free delivery -- their calculated smoke signals suggest they're searching for the secrets of the real showmen, not just fanatically aping them.
BOSTON PHOENIX: Frontman Tim Adams sing-shouts are a cross between James Brown and Isaac Brock
TROUSER PRESS: One of the most soulful indie rock outfits to come out of New York in years...
CITY BEAT, CINCINNATI: Their riffs have a sort of visceral simplicity, somewhere between the Rolling Stones and the Presidnents of the United states of America. Add the piano/organ and the juxtaposed guitar parts and a stew thickens. When you pourin the soulful vocals, the mixture becomes too thick to stir, but the Prayers are just going to start a food fight with it, anyway.
Influences: blind boy grunt and the hawks, john cassavetes, the clark sisters, solomon burke, iggy, bowie, stax, kinks, otis, phil spector, sam & dave, hayes & porter, william bell, lorette velvette, steve shiffman, atlantis black, steve wynn, mike viola, lou, keith, hi records, jerry lee, randy, harry, aretha, dan penn, nina simone, mud boy & the neutrons, scharpling & wurster

"TEN SONGS" AVAILABE ON CDBABY.COM...THE TEENAGE PRAYERS: Ten Songs
With a sound that lies somewhere between the Band, the Kinks, Otis Redding and the soundtrack to "Cabaret", the Teenage Prayers are both oddly familiar and totally distinct.
...AND ON APPLE ITUNES!
