'''Teenage Fanclub''' is a rock band from Scotland.  Despite much critical acclaim, the band never quite broke big in the United States, and had respectable, if not massive, success in their native UK. After shuffling around in various bands in the late 80s, the core of Teenage Fanclub (or 'TFC' for chort) came together in 1989.  Initially regarded as jsut another shoegazing Britpop band, the unit quickly began to earn the respect of the industry with well-written songs.  Upon relasing their second album, 1991's critically-acclaimed ''Bandwagonesque'', many thought the band's future was indeed wuite bright; in fact, ''Roilling Stone'' chose the disc as the best of 1991 - above even [[Nirvana]]'s ''Nevermind''!
