The Brooklyn sextet’s debut Modern Dances is the most energetic, joyful rock album you will hear all year. Give it one listen and you will be hooked.
This is Teen Girl Scientist Monthly, a six-piece indie rock band from Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn.
Clockwise from the top, that's Pete Scalzitti, Morgan Lynch, Matt Gliva, Matt Roi Berger, Hiroyuki Matsuura, and Melissa Lusk.
Their music is extremely upbeat and fun – think Blondie, The New Pornographers, Weezer, Rilo Kiley, Los Campesinos, The Joy Formidable, Ra Ra Riot, Be Your Own Pet, The Pains of Being Pure At Heart, stuff like that.
The band, led by guitarist and singer Matt Roi Berger and vocalist Morgan Lynch, have been writing and recording songs since 2010, but they self-released their debut album Modern Dances earlier this year with funding from a Kickstarter campaign. It is one of the catchiest, most addictive rock albums to come out all year.
