“..a band that’s heating up the mosh like spitting oil in a frying pan. Their performance was infectious, and I would dare say addictive.”  – THE AU REVIEW

“Teenage Dads successfully combine the familiar embrace of dream-pop with a hard and uncompromising instrumental execution.” – BEAT

“Their infectious melodies, intricate synth lines, hooky guitars and punchy drums can be compared to the likes of Phoenix and The Strokes. Meanwhile, their music is reminiscent of the way colourful pioneers The Beach Boys brought unconventional chords and structure to a popular setting.” – RRR

“Tunes always solid, hard grafting bunch with a good standing in the artist community. This is them realising their potential and kicking on to higher honours.” – TRIPLE J UNEARTHED

“We’ve been fans of these guys for quite a while now and Chugg Music eventually caught on. Touring with these guys in 2019 was a riot.  Not only are they great songwriters that put on a huge show, but they love to have fun whilst getting the job done…  as we do!” – LIME CORDIALE

Hailing from Melbourne’s Mornington Peninsula, Teenage Dads has been winning over fans with their memorable songwriting, quirky charisma and out-of-this-world live show.  Today, the four- piece share their latest burst of retro-pop Cheerleader, alongside a head-spinning DIY visualiser via Chugg Music. Following the release, the band will perform headline shows in Adelaide, Melbourne, Newcastle, Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and Gold Coast this September and November.  Additional rescheduled shows will be announced shortly.

Cheerleader radiates with glitzy hooks, irresistible melodies and meticulous craftsmanship. “Cheerleader is about indecisiveness leading to missed opportunities and regret. I wrote this last year feeling like I had spent much of my time not working hard enough to put myself out there and constantly feeling as though nothing was getting done. I was in a rut, felt like my life was moving on without me and all that remained were precious memories to keep me motivated for whatever came next,” says frontman Jordan of the track.

Filmed at Fort Nepean – an 18th century fort in Portsea on the Mornington Peninsula, the Cheerleader visualiser captures the band frolicking in a circle of life. “We were strapped for ideas, so we headed to a random location to see what we came up with. This is what emerged from thin air. There was a great debate on running clockwise or anticlockwise but the right decision was made in the end,” muses guitarist Connor of the clip.

Cheerleader follows on from Thank You For The Honey, Honey, which was added to triple j Unearthed and catapulted the band to sold-out shows and performances as special guests for Lime Cordiale.

Teenage Dads are:
Jordy Finlay – Vocals/Synth/Guitar
Vincent Kinna – Drums
Angus Christie – Bass
Connor McLaughlin – Guitar
