XX Teens - The Way We Were

London based five piece, XX Teens, release their new single “The Way We Were” on Mute Records. The band, who recently changed their name from Xerox Teens last year to the abbreviated XX Teens have had a bit of airplay in the past so how did this new release fair?

Well, starting of with what sounds like a harp makes you wonder if they have taken a new direction as well as a new name but soon the drums kick in and it is the usual decent blend of punk meets art-school meets cow-bell and a lot of cow bell too, if you like cow bells you will be in heaven with this track. It’s definitely a catchy tune and one that will hopefully see the band get a bit more airplay.

XX Teens have a busy summer with appearances at Glastonbury Festival, Underage Festival , Bestival and Wild in the Country Festival at Knebworth as well as plenty of normal gigs.
