Rig Rundown – Teenage Bottlerocket


Wyoming has a punk-rock scene? Well, if it does, Teenage Bottlerocket are its seminal stars.

Formed in 2000 by twin brothers Ray (bass and vocals) and Brandon Carlisle (drums), and eventually fortified by guitarist Kody Templeman and bassist Miguel Chen, the full-throttle four-pack have continuously proven you can have big fun with little gear. (When Miguel joined TBR in 2008, Ray moved over to guitar, and drummer Darren Chewka has filled in for Brandon since his untimely passing in 2015.)

Over the course of eight LPs and three EPs (mostly on Fat Mike’s Fat Wreck Chords), their sound has changed about as much as their cover art. And that’s just been slight-hue variations of the TBR logo. But that’s okay, because their brand of pop punk is lighthearted, fast, frenetic, and infectious, providing a carefree bash full of big hooks and blitzkrieg-ing power chords.

At Nashville’s Exit/In outdoor stage, the guitarists detail their custom Jason Ingrodi offsets, how random phone calls and sweat have influenced their pickup choices, and why their Oranges only need a slight CH-1 swirl for solos.

  • You showed the two mesa amps and didn’t mention them at all. Congrats to TBR for making it big while copying other bands.

  • I looooove when they do rig rundowns with punk rock bands. The video’s always like 12 minutes long and the guitarists are always like “The amp is beat to hell, my guitar is a guitar of some sort, that’s all I have, and I don’t know anything about any of it.”

    Teenage Bottlerocket is so good. If you’ve never listened to them, check out “in the basement”. It’s stellar.

  • I'm a huge teenage bottlerocket fan I've known about them since 2004. However I didn't really get into them until the album warning device in 2008 I was 10 years old at the time that album really got me into the band and into punk rock in general. Since then I've been a huge fan of their music and their latest album Sick Sesh is one of my favorites. When I first heard they're single ghost story I was hooked I thought "this reminds me of warning device" that song was stuck in my head for a month it was so good. And finally my wish came true premier guitar did a rig rundown with Teenage Bottlerocket I didn't find out about it until 2 months later.

  • No disrespect to Teenage Bottle Rocket, but I just wanted to say something to PG. I think it’s hilariously hypocritical/oblivious for Shawn Hammond to publish an article calling anyone out as a crybaby. I don’t know which guitarist he was referring to as they probably took the rig rundown video down but it’s beside the point. I’ve always dug PG, the staff and the articles with the one glaring exception being Shawn and from everything I’ve read or heard the large portion of the PG community seems to agree. Maybe think about taking a back seat and leading from the sidelines if your ego allows it Shawn, you might just see an increase in your magazine’s revenue with the absence of your smarm ????‍♂️
