This Is Teen-C Power!

This is Teen-C Power! is an EP by the Scottish indie pop band Bis, released in 1996 through Beastie Boys' Grand Royal label. It was a preview for American audiences, collecting material from the previous EPs: Disco Nation 45 (1995), The Secret Vampire Soundtrack (1996) and Bis vs. the D.I.Y. Corps (1996).

The EP also includes a newly recorded version of the song "Kill Yr Boyfriend"; the original version appeared on Bis' first release Transmissions on the Teen-C Tip!.

Critical reception

AllMusic called the EP "the best distillation of their anarchic early style". Spin noted "This is Fake D.I.Y." as the best song on the EP. Roctober wrote: "I guess I'm a sucker but this is Adorable-Core, and the songs are actually really nice and good."
