Teenage Fantasy is an album by Canadian rock band, Secret and Whisper. A rumor was spread across the internet that the album was going to hit stores on October 20, 2009. The band confirmed this information false. Originally scheduled for a February 9, 2010 release, the album was pushed back to April 6, 2010, supposedly so the band could release a music video for the album's single, "Warrior (Southern Arrowwood)". [6] "Edge of Wilderness" was the second released track from their new album. The track was released online as of March 15, 2010. Edge of Wilderness and Whale Bones have been posted on the Band's Myspace page. On April 1, 2010, the entire track listing was available for listening on the band's PureVolume. [7]
All lyrics written by Charles David Furney; all music composed by Secret and Whisper.

For all of you that have put a pervy twist on the name Teenage Fantasy, all i can say is gross. But what can you expect these days, arent we all kind of idiots?
