Teenage Shutdown! Things Been Bad

Teenage Shutdown! Teenage Shutdown! Things Been Bad, sometimes referred to as "Volume 3," is the third installment in the Teenage Shutdown! series of garage rock compilations put out by Tim Warren of Crypt Records, which is available on both LP and compact disc formats.[1][2][3] This volume was released on October, 6 1998 and consists of primarily harder rocking up-tempo material as indicated by the sub-heading, which reads "18 Prime Slabs of Mid-'60s Garage Punk Grunt."[1] Like all of the entries in the series, the collection was compiled and mastered by Warren, using original 45 rpm records selected from the collection of noted garage rock archivist, Mike Markesich (colloquially known as "Mop Top Mike").[1] Ironically, the photograph which appears on the front cover is of the Pink Finks, an Australian band not included on any of the album's tracks, all of which are performed by American groups.[1][4]

The set begins with the frantic rocker, "Baba Yaga," by the Pagans from Rochester, Minnesota, whose lyrics are about the dreaded witch from Russian folklore.[1][2][5] Ognir & The Nite People from Hazelton, Pennsylvania, fashioned their name after Beatles' drummer Ringo's name spelled backwards and perform "I Found a New Love."[1] The Barracudas' "What I Want You to Say," was cut at the same studios located in a Downey, California record store where the Chantays had made "Pipeline."[1] The album also includes Thee Midniters' novely song, "I Found a Peanut."[1] The album also features songs such as "1,000 Miles (Cheating on Me)," by the Inner Thoughts, from Clearwater, Florida and "She Was Good," by the Talismen from Wenatchee, Washington.[1][2] Kama Del Sutra, from Duluth, Minnesota, perform the closing track, "She Taught Me Love," which, because of its suggestive lyrics, was banned from receiving airplay in its region.[1]
