My Teenage Stride is the recorded product one-man-band/tunesmith Jedediah Smith's dangerous obsession with making up tunes and recording them. He's been writing songs since age seven and recording them since age 14, and his encylopaedic mastery of an array of pop idioms covers the bases of everything from Phil Spector to solo John Cale to Guided By Voices and back to Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons. Says Jed: "I've probably written about 3000 songs in my life, and recorded about a quarter of those. I can't seem to stop. I don't want to stop. Please help me." Live, My Teenage Stride churns out energetic, dense versions of Jedediah's records with an ablomb that has been turning heads all over NYC. With fantastically reviewed releases out on Banazan Records in California and Becalmed Records in the UK, Jedediah and the My Teenage Stride brand seem destined for a permanent place in the hallowed hallways of classic pop. Try to get these out of your head.
