"What forges the sound of the Teenage Prayers runs deeper than mere genre. It's blood."
Solomon Burke, the King of Rock and Soul
The Teenage Prayers aren't just a band. They're Family.
With a sound that lies somewhere between The Band,
The Kinks, Otis Redding and the cast soundtrack to
"Cabaret", New York City's The Teenage Prayers are both
oddly familiar and totally distinct.
And they're all related by blood or marriage.
Their debut effort, "TEN SONGS", started out as only nine
original tunes, penned by brothers Tim and Terrence Russell
Adams. How the number came to an even ten is a story the
Teenage Prayers will tell forever.
Tim and his cousin, Prayers bassist Kyle Chrise, first met
Solomon Burke while he was out promoting his Grammy-
winning album "Don't GiveUp On Me". That meeting moved
the Prayers to record a live version of Burke's classic
"Goodbye Baby" and send the soul legend a copy of the tune.
He loved it and responded by flying the band to LA and
producing the song for inclusion on "TEN SONGS".

1. Buy it. 2. Play it. 3. Bathe in it!
author: padre1. Buy it. 2. Play it. 3. Bathe in it! I can remember when there was no rock and roll and, consequently, have more or less heard it all. Simply put, the Teenage Prayers' "10 Songs" is straight ahead, great rock n' roll.
Great Music
author: katie whitehouseI love this cd I love the music, and their sound I hope that a lot more people discover them.
Amazing find
author: matilda deathstarI heard a few songs off a podcast and I was immediately hooked. The CD is really diverse - there's a song for everyone. I can't get enough of Acetylene Summer. Listen to the whole song and you can't help but smile.
Thank God I heard about this band.
author: CocoWhat an amazing collection of music. As soon as you play this for someone (assuming they have taste and a sense of what constitutes 'heartbreaking') he/she is immediately hooked. Highly recommended overall.
