Beach Slang feel like a rock and roll fan's dream come true. They're from Philadelphia, which currently has the hottest scene in the United States thanks to bands like the War on Drugs, Hop Along, Modern Baseball and Sheer Mag. A Loud Bash Of Teenage Feelings id their latest album. In terms of sound, not much has changed here. The Replacements, Psychedelic Furs and Jawbreaker have their influence smattered all over the place, and lyrics with such sincerity that eye rolls became head bangs.
