A quintet from Hastings, England, The Teenbeats were one of the better bands on Britain’s late ’70s mod revival scene, with Huggy Leaver (vocals), Ken Copsey (lead guitar), Paul Thomas (rhythm guitar, vocals), Eddie Mays (bass), and Dave Blackman (drums) making their debut just as the revival was gathering steam.
They further stoked the fires in 1979 with a killer cover of The Troggs‘ 60’s hit I Can’t Control Myself and followed this up with the even better Strength Of The Nation in 1980.
