Teen Idols Biography
by Mike DaRonco
Hailing from a city more well known as the
birthplace of rock & roll, Nashville's Teen Idols -- not to be
confused with the early-'80s D.C. hardcore band -- had some serious
angst against country music. Fed up with their redneck surroundings and
"hee-haw" environment, Keith (vocals), Phillip (guitar/vocals), Heather (bass), and Matt (drums) got together with their Ramones
records and leather jackets to form the Teen Idols as their own way of
flipping the bird at the Grand Ole Opera. Combining '50s rock & roll
attitude and snotty pop-punk got them some attention from Honest Don's
Records, which would later on release their debut in 1997. Following
some heavy touring and a nomination for Best Nashville Independent
Artist in 1998, their sophomore album, Pucker Up, was released in 1999, followed by a split EP with Japan's Spread. Full Leather Jacket followed a year later. In 2003, the Idols released both The Dysfunctional Shadowman EP and the full-length Nothing to Prove (through Asian Man and Fueled by Ramen, respectively).
Krhissy plays catchy pop punk and hail from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
