The Pink Spiders seemed to be one of the highlighted groups on 2006's Warped Tour, and with a new CD coming out on a major label; I was really worried about these guys getting over hyped. I have a copy of their previous CD, Hot Pink, and thought that with the right influence that they had some serious potential as more pop than punk Pop Punk band (a la Bowling For Soup), but with more of a 80's new wave twist. Once I found out that Ric Ocasek (from the 80's band The Cars) was producing the CD, I really had very high hopes for Teenage Graffiti. But, it turns out that the raw sound that I loved on Hot Pink is totally gone, and what is worse, the most of the best songs from Hot Pink are redone on Teenage Graffiti. I really thought that Ric Ocasek would be a perfect fit for their sound, as if they were around back when The Cars were big, Pink Spiders would have been deemed a decent knock off of the Cars. I'm not saying that you shouldn't buy Teenage Graffiti, as it is a pretty good CD, but I had higher hopes for it. If you are looking for some pop punk with a tinge of rockabilly (maybe even a little early Beatles), you may want to check out Teenage Graffiti. If you want more of a rockabilly/early Beatles, check out Hot Pink. My favorite songs are Little Razorblade, Modern Swinger, Hollywood Fix, and Going Steady.
