Swingin' Utters (album)
''Swingin' Utters'' is an album by American punk rock band Swingin' Utters, released in 2000. It was produced by Ryan Greene, and has a folkier sound than the band's previous albums. Critical reception '' The Pembroke Observer'' wrote that "the opening track, 'Pills and Smoke', is immediately so retro sounding that it could reel anyone back into the days of crash and burn English punk rock, whereas 'Watching the Wayfarers' is a superb rockabilly, country blues number that's complete with mandolin and upright bass." The ''San Antonio Express-News'' wrote that the Utters "toss in elements of cowpunk, folk/rock and melody ... heirsongs stretch boundaries with instrumentation such as upright bass, violin, piano, cello and mandolin."

Teen Idol Eyes
Adolescence () is a transitional stage of physical and psychological development that generally occurs during the period from puberty to adulthood (typically corresponding to the age of majority). Adolescence is usually associated with the teenage years, but its physical, psychological or cultural expressions may begin earlier and end later. Puberty now typically begins during preadolescence, particularly in females. Physical growth (particularly in males) and cognitive development can extend past the teens. Age provides only a rough marker of adolescence, and scholars have not agreed upon a precise definition. Some definitions start as early as 10 and end as late as 25 or 26. The World Health Organization definition officially designates an adolescent as someone between the ages of 10 and 19. Biological development Puberty in general Puberty is a period of several years in which rapid physical growth and psychological changes occur, culminating in sexual maturity. The avera ...
