The band was formed in 1992 and quickly gained local popularity while playing at venues such as Lucy's Record Shop and receiving frequent airplay on Nashville college radio. During the mid-90s, they released several EPs under the local indie label, House O' Pain. In 1996, the Nashville Music Association nominated the band for their Independent Artist of the Year award. A year later, the Teen Idols released their first full-length album under the indie label Honest Don's Hardly Used Recordings. They released two other albums under the Honest Don's label before signing to Fueled By Ramen in early 2003. The band released the album Nothing to Prove in July, 2003, but then broke up shortly thereafter. During their heyday, the Teen Idols headlined many tours in the U.S. and played support with other notable bands such as NOFX and the Queers.

Some of the band members are now currently touring and recording as the band Bullets to Broadway.
