About

Teenage Fanclub are a Scottish indie rock band from Bellshill, near Glasgow, active since 1989. Built around the songwriting trio of Norman Blake, Raymond McGinley and Gerard Love (who left in 2018), they became one of the most admired guitar bands of the 1990s - their 1991 album Bandwagonesque topped Spin magazine's year-end poll ahead of Nirvana's Nevermind. With 12 studio albums to their name, including Nothing Lasts Forever (2023), they remain a benchmark for melodic, harmony-driven guitar pop.
