These Cincinnati trash-pop scrappers peg themselves as doo-wop among other descriptors, which is a little misleading if you associate doo-wop with smooth, scrubbed-up vocal groups in highly controlled settings. Early demo “Be Mean” bears the specter of Spector, sure, but Tweens specialize in rocket-fueled ragers like “Rattle&Rollin'” and “Don’t Wait Up.” Their debut LP, due early next year on Frenchkiss, promises to be among 2014’s most uncouth pleasure bombs, equal parts catchy, jacked-up, and jagged. – Chris
