The Hawaiians - Teenagers Love REVIEWS:
"The boys simply did everything right. If this is not the greatest teenager-bubblegum sound, I'll be damned and I mean it. This demo is bound to become THE pop-punk record of the oncoming summer."

"17 tracks of super sunny Queers meet the Beach Boys bubblegum punk by this young German band. Superb sleeve artwork by Fritte! You`ll love it!"

"I first met them for (i think) 2 or 3 years ago, where they played together with the Apers and the Vaders on a festival. I was fascinated of them, they wore Hawaii shirts/Sunglasses and played the exact soundtrack to it (what means: Poppy-Surf-Punk-RocknRoll). Then I saw them with the Groovie Ghoulies last year and with the Queers this year, both were pretty good shows . So I was looking forward to listen to this record and what can I say? It´s a good Pop-Punk record, with some great shaking ass songs. Buy this CD, turn on the heat, mix a cocktail, wear your swimming-shorts and do a pool-party in your house."

"Sunny beach bubblegum pop punk from Westerkappeln and therefore close to the Favorats, Backwood Creatures etc. Queers meet Beach Boys meet Groovie Ghoulies meet Travoltas. Plus a nice chunk of 50's rock'n roll."

"Wow. Once in a while, you get your hands on a very special record. And this one is one of them. The coolest surprise since a very long time. The best record i've heard in the last 3 years. Very Queers/GroovieGhoulies but a bit more fifties. Imagine a l lo-fi punk album from Weezer produced by Joe Meek. Do The Waikiki and Love love love are incredible hit songs and extremely original compositions. A masterpiece of originality in a world where everything in the pop punk world is either a copy of Joe King or Ben foster's work. But Teenagers Love is not a copy of these. It's too bad that they only have one album and it doesnt sound as good as it should be, but i dont care. I want more. This record made me want to do music again. Yeah, it reminded me that that's what i wanna do, and i want to give up everything to do music like that. A record that gave me shivers when i was listening it, a thing i had almost forgotten. This record made me happy and proud to be alive for a moment. And god know that's it's VERY hard to make Johnny Love happy."
