The 30th anniversaries of album releases keep rolling, and this week on Teenage Kicks, we’re recognizing Bandwagonesque, a career highlight for Scottish band Teenage Fanclub. In a year that included landmark albums from Pearl Jam, U2, My Bloody Valentine, A Tribe Called Quest, and Nirvana, Spin magazine boldly declared Bandwagonesque its Album of the Year, and Bandwagonesque still jangles and rocks with the best music to emerge from that era. This week we’ll also dig into the Kicks-era bands being featured in the Sound Unseen film festival, including X-Ray Spex, A-ha, Material Issue, and Fishbone.
