Teenage Fanclub plays Neptune Theatre this Fri March 24, with Britta Phillips. DONALD MILNE
Since 1997, Teenage Fanclub have followed a particularly egalitarian model, splitting up writing duties equally on five straight albums—12 tracks per album, four each for band founders Norman Blake, Raymond McGinley, and Gerard Love. (They’ve been a band since 1989.)
It’s hard to say which is more impressive, that three songwriters have coexisted seemingly peacefully for so long, or that Blake, McGinley, and Love have maintained such a high level of quality over the years.
