“With driving guitar lines, maturing lyrics, and infectious hooks made for summer cruises, the [Midnight Driving EP] should cement Teenage Dads’ growing popularity in Australia.”
– ROLLING STONE AU 

“Teenage Dads are a band that are hitting their stride at just the right time.”
– THE MUSIC

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

Currently on the road taking their electric live show across the UK, Ireland & Europe, Melbourne’s Teenage Dads return this week with a science fiction-inspired new single ‘Speedracer’, and today announce a huge 30-stop national headline tour across Australia & New Zealand over August – September of this year playing to their biggest venues to date. ‘Speed Racer’ is out now 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 have today revealed their biggest headline tour to date, announcing 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. Pre-sale tickets will be available from Tuesday 6 June 10.00AM AEST – sign up HERE. General sale from Thursday 8 June 10.00AM AEST 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 will kick off their own run of headline shows across the UK before heading home for a few days to make their Splendour In The Grass debut in July.
