Teenage Fanclub Biography

Teenage Fanclub are an alternative rock band from Bellshill, Scotland. The band is composed of Norman Blake (vocals, guitar), Raymond McGinley (vocals, lead guitar), Gerard Love (vocals, bass) and Francis MacDonald (drums), with songwriting duties shared equally among Blake, McGinley and Love. In concert, the band usually alternate among the three songwriters (who all sing lead vocals on their own songs) giving equal playing time to each one's songs.

The band's sound relies heavily on chiming, Byrds-esque guitars and harmony vocals. As well as being compared to the Byrds, Teenage Fanclub have also been compared to Big Star, Neil Young, and Dinosaur Jr. Although often pegged as alternative rock, the group has incorporated a wide variety of elements from various music styles in its songs.

Teenage Fanclub has had a succession of drummers, including Francis MacDonald, Brendan O'Hare and Paul Quinn, who was later replaced by the returning Francis MacDonald. Keyboardist Finlay MacDonald (no relation) has also been a member.

As of July 2010, the band have released nine studio albums and two compilation albums.

Teenage Fanclub - I'll Make It Clear Lyrics

They think they know us but they don't know us
In love there's nothing
That they can show us anymore
It's never been like this before

Teenage Fanclub - Alcoholiday Lyrics

There are things I want to do, but I don't know
If they will be with you, if they will be with you
There are things I want to say, but I don't know
If they will be to you, if they will be to you

Bound in motion
Found my headwind was blowing fine
I've requested the stars to shine
For words that no longer rhyme

Your feelings can't hide
You always know why
But your reasons are sly
