Teenage Head

Teenage Head, released in 1971 by the Flamin' Groovies, pairs raw, 1950s‑tinged rock and roll with British Invasion melodicism and garage rock grit. The record shifts between raucous, guitar-driven numbers and more melodic, pop-oriented songs, with a rough-hewn production that gives it an immediate, live feel. Its combination of classic rock and roll roots, bluesy touches and concise hooks helped point toward the emerging power pop and punk sensibilities that would follow, making it influential among underground rock listeners.
