It's fairly well know that when Teengenerate broke up at the end of 1995, brothers Fink and Fifi immediately formed new power pop bands. Fink did The Raydios and Fifi with The Tweezers. The Raydios made their way to Western audiences with the LP on Sweden's [edit] Germany's Screaming Apple label and later a second LP on Dirtnap but The Tweezers were much more elusive, releasing all their records on Japanese labels.
The Tweezers were rounded out by Koji of Samantha's Favourite on guitar, Tomoko from Supersnazz on bass, and Uganda from Jet Boys and also Samantha's Favourite on drums. Their sole LP was released in 1997. To celebrate the 20 year anniversary, original label Time Bomb remastered and re-released the album and also did this 7" as a bonus. "Love Kills" was an unreleased song from the original sessions. "Someday" is a cover by The Kids, but this is a different version than what was on the album. "Teen Machinery" is another alternate version of a LP track. The updated CD included all these songs, and others, but they were also released separately here for vinyl fans.
The Tweezers never recorded any more but kept on playing live forever. At some point Fifi stopped playing guitar and they added a fifth member.
Thanks for the post , btw , Screaming Apple Records is a German Label from Koln .
