Teen Blast USA! Vol 2

I'm particularly fond of The Gnomes track, the perfect encapsulation of teen loserdom. The husky-voiced singer sounds implausibly cheerful about his miserable existence.

The Gnomes - Something's Going On
The Underground Balloon Corps - (Heart) Made of Soul
The Green Beans - Superstition

Teen Blast USA! Vol 1

A nice garage comp that mixes minor chord melancholia with more stomping stuff. Even if the Jolly Roger and the Poppiteers track sucked, I'd feel compelled to post it here purely because of the band name.

Jack Bedient and the Chessmen - Double Whammy
Jolly Roger and the Poppiteers - Beautiful Lady in the Sky
Six Minus One - Other Side
