'''Teenage Fanclub''' are a Scottish alternative rock band formed in Glasgow in 1989.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thetimes.com/culture/music/article/norman-blake-i-climbed-into-my-friends-parents-bed-at-a-party-llz85llcf|title=Norman Blake: I climbed into my friend's parents' bed at a party|date=20 September 2023|author=Davies, Ashley|work=The Times}}</ref> The group were founded by Norman Blake (vocals, guitar), Raymond McGinley (vocals, lead guitar) and Gerard Love (vocals, bass), all of whom shared lead vocals and songwriting duties until Love's departure in 2018.

In concert the band usually alternate among its songwriters, giving equal playing time to each one's songs. Although often classified as alternative rock, the group have incorporated a wide variety of elements from various music styles.<ref name="The Great Rock Discography">{{cite book|last=Strong|first=Martin C.|url=https://archive.org/details/greatrockdiscogr0000stro/|title=The Great Rock Discography|publisher=Mojo Books|year=2000|isbn=1-84195-017-3|edition=5th|location=Edinburgh|pages=[https://archive.org/details/greatrockdiscogr0000stro/page/969/mode/2up 969–970]|author-link=Martin C.

Teenage Fanclub have had a succession of drummers, namely Francis MacDonald, Brendan O'Hare and Paul Quinn. Keyboardist Finlay MacDonald (no relation to Francis) has also been a member. As of 2023, the band have released 12 studio albums and two compilation albums.
==History== Teenage Fanclub emerged from the Glasgow ''C86'' scene. They formed following the break-up of the Boy Hairdressers, a band featuring Raymond McGinley, Norman Blake and Francis MacDonald.<ref name=":0">{{cite web|last=Collar|first=Matt|title=Teenage Fanclub {{!}} Biography & History|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/teenage-fanclub-mn0000015694/biography|access-date=26 November 2020|publisher=AllMusic}}</ref> Following a brief period in which Blake was a member of BMX Bandits, the three former bandmates joined with Gerard Love to form Teenage Fanclub.<ref name=":0" />
Originally a noisy and chaotic band, their first album ''A Catholic Education'', released in 1990 on Paperhouse, is largely atypical of their later sound, with the possible exception of "Everything Flows". Mostly written by Blake and McGinley, the record included several songs originally intended for the Boy Hairdressers.<ref name=":0" /> After recording his drum parts, MacDonald left the band to resume his university studies. They re-recorded several songs with MacDonald's replacement, Brendan O'Hare, because they weren't satisfied with the results of the original recording sessions,<ref name="vice">{{cite web|url=https://www.vice.com/en/article/rank-your-records-teenage-fanclub-norman-blake/|title=Rank Your Records: Norman Blake Merrily Rates the Ten Teenage Fanclub Albums|first=Cam|last=Lindsay|website=Vice|date=1 September 2016|access-date=27 January 2021}}</ref> and because they wanted to involve O'Hare in the album.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.uncut.co.uk/features/teenage-fanclub-finest-albums-writing-songs-wasnt-difficult-everyone-106883/|title=Teenage Fanclub on their finest albums: 'If writing songs wasn't difficult, everyone would be doing it!'|first=Tom|last=Pinnock|website=Uncut|date=14 August 2018|access-date=27 January 2021}}</ref>
The band followed the album with the EP ''God Knows It's True'' before being signed by Creation Records. ''The King'', their next album, was a semi-improvised collection recorded in a single day.<ref name=":0" /> Originally intended to be a very limited release,<ref name="vice"/> the record received reviews critical of its self-confessed shambolic guitar thrash; it also included a cover of Madonna's "Like a Virgin".<ref name="The Great Rock Discography" />
Their next album, ''Bandwagonesque'', released on Creation Records in the UK and Geffen in the US, brought Teenage Fanclub a measure of commercial success. ''Bandwagonesque'' was more deliberately constructed, and introduced the band's signature sound, with its immediate hooks and fuzzy, controlled guitar riffs. In addition, the record's producer, Don Fleming, encouraged the group to develop their penchant for vocal harmonies: this likewise would become a trademark element of their sound. ''Bandwagonesque'' also signalled the band's adoption of a more collaborative songwriting ethos: each member of the band supplied songs, with solo writing credits equally split between Love and Blake, McGinley contributing "I Don't Know" alongside his playing on the others' songs, and O'Hare supplying lead vocals on "Sidewinder", a track co-written with Love. <ref name="The Great Rock Discography"/>
Acclaimed upon release, ''Bandwagonesque'' spawned the singles "Star Sign", "The Concept", and "What You Do to Me", the latter reaching #31 in the UK charts; the three accompanying music videos also achieved airplay on MTV, bolstering the band's reputation across the Atlantic. ''Bandwagonesque'' topped ''Spin'' magazine's 1991 end-of-year poll for best album,<ref>{{Cite magazine |date=December 1991 |title=20 Best Albums of the Year |page=68 |magazine=Spin |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5zrzfgLFgUYC&pg=RA1-PA56}}</ref> beating Nirvana's ''Nevermind'', their Creation stablemates My Bloody Valentine's album ''Loveless'', and R.E.M.'s ''Out of Time''.
Their followup album, 1993's self-produced ''Thirteen'', received mixed reviews on release, although it has since seen some critical reappraisal. Some reviews criticised the record for a perceived failure to develop the band's sound, despite experiments in instrumentation (strings and flute on single "Hang On", mandolin on "120 Mins"), while some tracks — like "Norman 3", another of the singles pulled from the album — feature lengthy outros that some critics deemed overly repetitive. However, lead single "Radio" did chart at #31 in the UK, matching the position achieved by What You Do to Me.
After touring ''Thirteen'', Teenage Fanclub parted ways with Brendan O'Hare, citing "musical differences". His replacement was Paul Quinn, formerly of the Soup Dragons.<ref name="The Great Rock Discography"/> With Quinn on board, and David Bianco producing, the band began work on ''Grand Prix'', their fifth album. This record would see Teenage Fanclub take their signature sound in a more polished direction: the songs boasted a cleaner power pop feel than those on the self-produced ''Thirteen''. An acoustic ballad, "Mellow Doubt", was selected as the album's lead single, while upbeat follow-ups "Sparky's Dream" and "Neil Jung" combined pop melodies with jagged guitar.
''Grand Prix'' was both a critical and commercial success in the UK, becoming their first top ten album. In the US however the band failed to regain the ground that ''Thirteen'' had lost them. Around this time Liam Gallagher of labelmates Oasis called the band "the second best band in the world" – second only to Oasis.<ref>{{cite web|date=1 June 2011|title=Norman Blake – Does Rock 'n' Roll Kill Braincells?|url=https://www.nme.com/blogs/nme-blogs/norman-blake-does-rocknroll-kill-braincells-774055|access-date=5 November 2015|website=NME}}</ref>
''Songs from Northern Britain'' followed ''Grand Prix'' and built on the former's success. It became their highest-charting release in the UK and contained their biggest hit single to date, "Ain't That Enough".<ref name="The Great Rock Discography"/>
The follow-up album, ''Howdy!'', released on Columbia Records in the UK after the demise of Creation, continued the sound of ''Songs from Northern Britain''. Francis MacDonald rejoined as the drummer in place of Quinn, who left the band after recording his parts for ''Howdy!'' and before its release due to personal difficulties within the band .<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/teenage-fanclub-31-1395974|title=Fanny Quits Club|website=NME|date=28 March 2000|access-date=20 January 2019}}</ref> Quinn went on to form the Primary 5.
In 2002, they released ''Words of Wisdom and Hope'' with Jad Fair of Half Japanese.
Their final release on a Sony label, ''Four Thousand Seven Hundred and Sixty-Six Seconds – A Short Cut to Teenage Fanclub'', collected the band's best songs along with three new songs (one from each member).
Their next album, ''Man-Made'', was released on 2 May 2005, on the band's own ''PeMa'' label. ''Man-Made'' was recorded in Chicago in 2004, and produced by John McEntire of Tortoise.
In 2006, the band held two special concerts (in London and Glasgow) playing their 1991 album ''Bandwagonesque'' in its entirety.
The band began work on their ninth album in August 2008, booking an initial three weeks at Leeders Farm recording studio in Norfolk.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.teenagefanclub.com |title=Teenage Fanclub official website. 'Work Starts on a New Album!' |publisher=Teenagefanclub.com |access-date=1 November 2011}}</ref> The album was called ''Shadows'', the first to involve keyboardist Dave McGowan as a full-time member, and was released on the band's own ''PeMa'' label. It became available in Europe, Australasia and Japan on 31 May 2010, and was released by Merge Records in North America on 8 June 2010.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.teenagefanclub.com//?p=393 |title=Posting on Teenage Fanclub website |publisher=Teenagefanclub.com |access-date=1 November 2011 |archive-date=22 August 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180822145953/https://www.teenagefanclub.com/?p=393 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
