Our Bandcamp of the day is Pro Teens in celebration of their forthcoming album, Twos, out August 16 via Broken Circles.
Pro Teens is a grungy, retro pop band born in the concrete desert of Phoenix, Arizona. Since their formation in 2014, Andy Phipps (vocals/guitar), Matthew Tanner (drums), Zack Parker (bass) have been staples of the band, seeing a rotating cast of talent from the Phoenix music scene over the years. Their newest members, Kalebh Ryals (guitar), and B Bohannon (synth/organ) added in 2018, are solid and refreshing additions to the newly reformed Pro Teens.
Pro Teens’ newest album, Twos, was recorded in Oracle, AZ, a small desert town north of Tucson. The album reflects that southwestern desert energy present in the essence of who Pro Teens are, alive with personality and color while emitting the same kind of the glaring and powerful force of hot summer’s day in the desert. Twos is carefree and vibrant but with heartfelt and touching intentions. Thematically, it’s about dealing with relationships, mental health, and the moral compass.
Check out their Bandcamp to hear more and preorder the record.
