The band released their debut EP A Bomb on a Laramie communal label, One Legged Pup, in 2002 and soon after on October 31st 2003 the band released their first album, Another Way, on vinyl only through that same label.
After touring through 2004, they set to work on their next release, Total, which was released in April 2005 through Red Scare. After more touring in support of Total, and a spot on the warped tour, they recorded their next LP for Red Scare, Warning Device, which was released on January 8, 2008. A video was released for the song "In the Basement" on December 28, 2007.
On February 10th 2009, Teenage Bottlerocket signed with punk label Fat Wreck Chords, later releasing They Came From The Shadows, their fourth album, on the 15th of September.
The band's most recent album, Tales From Wyoming was released in the spring of 2015 through Rise Records.
On November 7th, 2015 drummer Brandon Carlisle passed away after being hospitalized and comatose for a few days prior. Following the news of his passing, the band was initially ambiguous as to whether or not they would continue on but announced shortly thereafter that, with the addition of Darren Chewka formerly of Old Wives, Teenage Bottlerocket would indeed continue as a band.
So Cool
Teenage Bottlerocket Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So cool, with all the stupid things we do
And I know that you like it too
Baby you're so cool
So cool, you hang around with me all day
And I'm hoping that it's always going to be this way
There's only one thing I can say
Baby you're so cool
So please say that you'll stay
Tell me that you'll never go away
So cool, baby you're so cool
So cool, you picked me up when I was down
So cool, I'm into having you around
You never treat me like a fool
Baby you're so cool
So cool, but now your boyfriend's getting pissed
Kinda funny how he doesn't know we never kissed
You know you like to make him drool
Baby you're so cool
So please say that you'll stay
Tell me that you'll never go away
Cause if you do I'm coming after you
I said if you do I'm coming after you
So cool, baby you're so cool
So cool, baby baby you're so cool
So cool, baby you're so cool
So cool, baby baby you're so cool
So cool
