Teen Mortgage is Tuning In [Interview - Teen Mortgage]

Is Teen Mortgage punk? Well, yes and no. Punk is in the eye of the beholder, and the spirit of the band is more about playing their music than fussing over labels anyway, which just feels right. Ed and James have been making music in the DC area for years, but Teen Mortgage is from everywhere, and their reach is just as wide.
The new single from Teen Mortgage, “Tuning In,” is out everywhere on August 26th, and be sure to go see them out on tour playing in a town near you!
Hugest of thanks to Ed and James for the enlightening discussion.
