Boston’s Future Teens savor the saccharine flavor of emo pop with a clean, throwback 90s sound. Even when the quartet sings about sadness there is a sweet aftertaste. Tight hooks, taut drums, flawless harmonies, lyrics that sweep you off your feet and transport you to a realm ruled by heartbreak, tough decisions, and summers without end. This is the band you want playing prom night at Capeside High while Pacey, Joey, and Dawson close ranks for a group hug. Our highlighted track “Believe” is a slowed-down, twangified version of the classic Cher banger, off their EP Deliberately Alive.
