Teen Sheikhs are the raddest bunch of dudes out there right now, they’re even cooler than your brother’s friends. They get drunk before, during and after your show, and then in the morning have a celebratory Guinness. And they probably hook up with all the super gnarly chicks in the neighbourhood and have all the original Star Wars figures. Plus they have a bassist called Will Young, and their drummer makes insanely good art stuff.
They sound something like the Shop Assistants covered by Times New Viking, with an extremely jolly Scottish guy crooning wearily over the top. Two of them also write a blog for this site now and again, but they are too shy to celebrate or expose themselves, so I decided to. They have something coming out on Captured Tracks soon. But for now, here’s this bona fide classic ode to losing your head.
Teen Sheikhs, “Cracked”

Go see them on their UK tour in September. They’ll be like drinking and chatting to models and shit.
