Seeing Teenage Bottle Rocket was a real treat for me as I am a mighty big fan of the punk rock scene.
It was real refreshing to hear a band giving that earlier sound that made punk music so enjoyable for me. The sound of the band is down to roots simple in your face fast punk just like in the old days. Getting to see them was like being transported back to when I was a kid and going to those punk shows.
They have a type of sounds like a Ramones to NOFX style of playing, so you get a nice variety of musical styles. The band is amazing in getting the audience pumped up as they are always encouraging you to make the noise and sing along to the songs. The place was a little packed and there was not really a chance to dance around so that was a real bummer.
All in all the band has great energy and the song catalog is great. It really doesn't get any better than this for getting a nice feel of what punk rock used to be years back, it's a real must see if they come to your town make sure to catch them, if you're a fan of the genre you won't be disappointed.
