Teenage Joans is back today with punk rock anthem ‘Terrible‘, the first piece of new music from the duo since the release of their debut EP Taste Of Me in May 2021.

With a hard-edged melody and loud distorted riffs ‘Terrible’ comes along with a twisted video and is the first release on their new label Domestic La La.

Says Teenage Joans of the track: “‘Terrible’ is our first single since the EP, and we wanted to show the world a different side to Teenage Joans. We’re both influenced by a range of music, including punk/hardcore, so we really wanted to write a song with a heavier touch.

The song is about being led on by someone who “holds you like they’re gonna drop you” – aka sticks around when it’s easy and leaves as they please.

We actually wrote the original version of ‘Terrible’ before we wrote most of Taste Of Me, but we didn’t feel like it was good enough to release at that time. We rewrote it a second time at a band practice in April 2021, and then a third time when we went into the studio in September 2021. The song is almost entirely different now, apart from the ending which has stayed the same since we first wrote it!”

Also announced today is the signing to James Tidswell’s label Domestic La La. “I loved Teenage Joans from the moment I heard them and then seeing them live absolutely blew me away. It is an honour to have them as part of the Domestic La La family and I cannot wait for everyone to hear their brand new song “Terrible,” the scream at the end is the BEST!!!!” – James Tidswell, Domestic La La

The band will be supporting Ball Park Music on their national tour in June and July before a slot at Spin Off Festival. In the past year they have supported the likes of Sly Withers, Bugs, Amy Shark, and The Chats as well as playing festivals UNIFY and Land of Plenty. They were due to support the Foo Fighters nationally on their now-cancelled tour for late 2022.

The 5-track Taste of Me EP contains singles ‘Wine’, ’Ice Cream’ and ‘Something About Being Sixteen’ and saw Teenage Joans take their blistering live show on the road for their debut national headline tour.

After taking out the triple j unearthed high crown in 2020, the Adelaide two-piece have not slowed down, releasing single after single and playing two sold out co-headline shows with TOWNS. This was quickly followed by sets at Yours and Owls, NYE On The Hill, Summer Sounds and Mountain Goat Valley Crawl festivals and a support slots with Violent Soho, Ruby Fields, The Hard Aches, Private Function and more.
