Premiere: Teenage Art Scene - “Suzanne”

Written By Jeff MacCallum

Teenage Art Scene is a Victoria based solo project led by Rupert Yakelashek who has been churning out quality records at a break-neck speed since 2019. Each album is its own little microcosm and blurs musical lines from the prior release. Over the course of the projects tenure we’ve heard pop-punk, synth-pop, grunge, and more but always punctuated by Yakelashek’s hook-filled melodies and slacker-rock vocals. Last year was the first time Yakelashek took the project on tour and did so to support his 2025 album Format Wars.

Today the Cups N Cakes Network is happy to premiere the latest single from Teenage Art Scene. The track is called “Suzanne” and once again Yakelashek is moving into new realms with this fuzzy folk-pop song. The track arrives everywhere on May 1st but you can it early with us right now!

Enjoy “Suzanne” below and check out the Teenage Art Scene Bandcamp Page on May 1st and maybe spend a couple bucks… it will be Bandcamp Friday after all.

Jeff MacCallum is our founder. He created Cups N Cakes simply because he had a love of local music. Soon the platform grew beyond the confines of his scene in Edmonton to include all of Canada.

"I did it all very DIY. Everything you see was me learning on the fly. I'm a carpenter not a musician, or a journalist, or a publicist... I'm a carpenter and a weird crazy music fan that thought he could do something fun that might benefit something I care about"

Over the years, MacCallum's commitment to elevating Canadian music earned him a spot as a Polaris Prize Juror, a WCMA Juror, a consultant for music festival curation, and a dear friend to independent music in Canada.
