[Mills'] hidden elegance lies in the
twist of lovesick metaphor, the wistful chord, the revisionist take on the
slamming door. – NME

My Teenage Stride
At its inception, the indie pop band My
Teenage Stride was the group name for solo artist Jedediah Smith. Smith, a
singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, grew up in Massachusetts, where
he began playing the guitar at the age of 14, later adding bass, piano, and
drums. Soon after, he began writing and recording his own songs. After a single
and an EP ("Blackbeard's Ghost" and I'm Sorry, respectively), his
first full-length album was A Sad Cloud, released by Banazan Records in 2004.
The second My Teenage Stride album, Major Major, was released by Becalmed
Records in 2005. By the time of the third album, Ears Like Golden Bats,
released on February 20, 2007, Smith had brought in bassist Jenny Logan,
drummer Brett Whitmoyer, and guitarist Dakkan Abbe. ~ William Ruhlmann
