A long time ago I came across a blog with a download for a band called S'cool Girls. It wasn't great but I filed it away as interesting because back then there weren't many bands doing a budget glam sound.
Some time after that I put in a little research to see who S'cool Girls were. There wasn't a lot of info about them but I did learn that their singer is named Noah Wallace. A little more digging revealed that he was previously in Teacher's Pet.
This was their only release. There are some YouTube videos of songs not on this record that apparently came from a demo CD. Along with The Retardos and The Fevers, Teacher's Pet is in the discussion among the first contemporary bands doing a budget bubblegum sound, going even farther into a heavy Milk 'N' Cookies influence. I think a few people might like this record but I don't think it caught on with the larger scene of bands profiled on here like The Retardos and The Fevers did.
Noah Wallace has continued to be active. He's been doing a band called Hammered Satin since about 2012. They have a few releases and been absorbed under the Burger Records umbrella. They're pretty nonironic hard rock and should be avoided.
