Teenage Head is a Canadian punk rock group from Hamilton, Ontario,[1] that has been popular in Canada since the early 1980s.

The group was formed in Hamilton, Ontario in 1974 by Frankie Venom (Frank Kerr), Gord Lewis, Steve Mahon, and Nick Stipanitz.

Venom died on October 15, 2008. Lewis died August 7, 2022.

The band's name is a reference to The Flaming Groovies' 1971 album Teenage Head, which Gord Lewis had seen advertised in a music magazine but not heard, and decided that he, one day, would form a band with that name.
