– ROLLING STONE AU

– THE MUSIC
“Teenage Dads keep going from strength to strength…”
– LIFE WITHOUT ANDY

After being on the road taking their electric live show across the UK, Ireland & Europe, Melbourne’s Teenage Dads return this week with a new video for their science fiction-inspired new single ‘Speedracer’. Their huge 30-stop national headline tour across Australia & New Zealand over August – September of this year playing to their biggest venues to date starts next week. ‘Speed Racer’ is out everywhere via Chugg Music.

Combining gritty yet melodic retro-inspired vocals, tight-knit rhythms and memorable hooks, ‘Speedracer’ captures the essence of the band’s eclectic fusion of genres and proves again the band’s perfected knack for engaging story-telling. “In reference to the 1967 anime and 2008 film, “Speedracer” is the person that sends your heart racing at a 1000 miles per hour without a second thought.” The dynamic interplay of funky basslines, driving percussion, and vibrant synth textures creates a mesmerising sonic landscape reminiscent of the Talking Heads’ experimental spirit and proves again the breakthrough act’s knack for story-telling.

Renowned for their high-energy, out-of-this-world live show, Teenage Dads are about to begin their biggest headline tour to date, consisting of 30 dates across Australia & New Zealand from August – September this year and heading to just about anywhere there are music fans. A very welcome homecoming after a huge year playing shows across the UK, Europe and the US, Jordy, Connor, Angus, and Vince have invited the very best local talent to join them on the road including The Moving Stills, Death by Denim, Mim Jensen (NZ), Aleksiah, Lola Scott and Betty Taylor plus many more. This might be your last chance to see Teenage Dads in 2023 so don’t miss out. General sale tickets are available HERE.

‘Speedracer’ is the first we’ve heard from the four-piece since the release of their Midnight Driving EP (featuring fan favourites ‘Hey, Diego!’, ‘Exit Sign’ and Hottest 100 debut track ‘Teddy’) that charted at #2 in the Australian Album Charts, and at #28 in the ARIA Album charts. The band took the new music on a huge tour across Australia & New Zealand playing to sold-out crowds before hitting the road again with Groovin The Moo 2023. Playing as special guests with good friends Lime Cordiale on their recent UK/ EU headline tour, the band also kicked off their own run of headline shows across the UK before heading home for a few days to make where they made their Splendour In The Grass debut in July.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
