 ‘Teenager’ is The Thrills’ third album. The five-man group from Dublin had put together two outstanding albums in two years – ‘So Much For The City’ in 2003 and ‘Let’s Bottle Bohemia’ in 2004 – racking up sales well in excess of a million copies. Having toured non-stop for four and a half years, the band established their credentials as one of the key acts of the decade, and got a taste of what it is like to perform at some of the biggest venues in the world, in the company of U2 and Oasis, amongst others. ‘Teenager’, produced by Tony Hoffer (Beck, Supergrass, Fratellis), speaks of adolescence, the loss of innocence and of leaving it all behind. It is the sound of a band re-invigorated by the simple love of working and playing together again. Their sell out tour 'Up Close & Coast to Coast' sees them visit intimate venues up and down the country in June & July showcasing new material.

The unique thing about this release is the accompanying film 'The End Of Innocence - A Film About The Thrills', which features on the Special Edition. Directed by Danny O'Connor whose award winning work includes the chart topping Stereophonics DVD 'Rewind', the film is a revealing and insightful portrait of a young band coming to terms with the immediate success and adulation for their first album ‘So Much for the City’ and the muted press and public reaction to their second album ‘Let’s Bottle Bohemia’. A series of honest interviews, live performance, behind the scenes footage and commentary from Bob Geldof makes this a very exclusive package for any fan. Screenings at Glastonbury, Dublin Film Festival and New York 'Irish' Film Festival have begun the buzz already, and anticipation for this release is building fast!
