This week on Teenage Kicks we'll celebrate a birthday for Steve Kilbey, the lead singer and bassist in The Church. Since their start in the early '80s, The Church were one of the first Australian new wave bands to find success around the world when Under the Milky Way went Top 40 in America in 1988. (hook)

With dream-pop sounds powering the sales of Chorus pedals for young guitarists these days, the onset of fall is a perfect time to celebrate the masters of what one critic termed "dense, shimmering, exquisite guitar pop." We also have a chat with Milo Aukerman of Descendents who came in for a couple breaks in the second hour.
