Too many of this century’s garage-pop greats have either called it quits or settled into extended hiatuses before the world was ready to let them go. Gentleman Jesse: silent. Royal Headache: broken up. Barreracudas: broken up. The Marked Men: a once-in-a-blue-moon festival act. The Splits: Who knows? Cincinnati’s self-proclaimed “trash pop” outfit Tweens have yet to burn out, but they’ve definitely faded away. It’s been five years since they released their remarkable self-titled debut, which showcased songwriting instincts on par with the aforementioned masters of fuzzed-out bliss. Five years is way too long. Here’s hoping Tweens know they are needed, now more than ever. CHRIS STAMM
