This Is Teen-C Power!, a 1996 EP from Bis, was the Scottish trio's calling card for America, and it came out on Grand Royal, the label run by the Beastie Boys. Rather than a new record, it rounds up tracks from three earlier EPs, Disco Nation 45, The Secret Vampire Soundtrack and Bis vs. the D.I.Y. Corps, plus a freshly recorded take on "Kill Yr Boyfriend", a song that first turned up on their debut release.
Sci-Fi Steven, John Disco and Manda Rin play indie pop like a sugar rush with a punk-rock attitude: squealing synths, yelped vocals, buzzing guitars and choruses that sound like they were chanted in a school playground. It's gleefully homemade and gleefully loud. "Kandy Pop" and "School Disco" were the songs the countdowns caught.
