One of our hipper-than-thou friends vowed that The Teenagers will be the band of 2008, the year of the lesbian. We’re not ones to argue with aural predetermination, especially when it involves cute French popsters talking about fucking dumb slutty cheerleader virgins. Ahhh, American dreams!
Check out “Starlett Johansson” after the jump. It’s not very good and makes us doubt our friend’s prediction. The Scarlett-obsession will no doubt grab some press, though.

Yup, they are sans doubt the band of ’08 and their French origin and current London base does not contradict that. This is not their best song though, for anyone who ever lived in Paris long enough to get to know the city the track “Streets of Paris” is excellent in the way it describes Parisian youth and the criminality and violence. And Starlett Johansson is pretty great too. But to be honest, as soon as people start interviewing them they will realize how they lack almost all charm when forced to speak English with a content.

I didn’t see the second video, je m’excuse, pardon.
