TEENAGE JOANS DELIVER NEW SINGLE ‘ICE CREAM’ + ANNOUNCE DEBUT EP + TOURING WITH THE CHATS AND BUGS

Living up to their ones-to-watch status, Teenage Joans today deliver the next taste in their ever-growing catalogue with single 'Ice Cream' alongside the announcement of their debut EP Taste Of Me which will be released on 28 May. The great news keeps rolling in with the band confirmed to take their blistering live show down the East Coast next month in support of The Chats and in May on tour with Bugs.

Says the band of the track, “Ice Cream is about feeling like your best just isn’t good enough. Sometimes in life it feels like you’re trying so much harder than the people around you, but you’re still falling behind (like getting a head start in the race of life, but still placing last). We wanted people screaming along to wanting to feel better, like a toddler screams about wanting their ice cream. One of our favourite things to do in our songs is juxtaposing serious topics using childlike metaphors to get the point across in a different way”

After taking out the triple j unearthed high crown in 2020, the Adelaide two-piece have not slowed down, releasing single 'Something About Being Sixteen' and playing two sold out co-headline shows with TOWNS in Brisbane and Melbourne in January. This was quickly followed by sets at Summer Sounds and Mountain Goat Valley Crawl festivals and there is a lot more touring on the near horizon.

Going from strength to strength, Teenage Joans have already shared stages (and made lifelong friends with) the likes of Ruby Fields, The Hard Aches, Clowns, Towns and Bec Stevens, just to name a few. They were invited to perform at Laneway Festival 2019 as part of the Girls Rock! Showcase, and were a highlight performance at A Day Of Clarity and Stonecutters Festival’s.
