“Cahli and Tahlia know their way around a classic pop hook, and they pack as many fist-in-the-air, lighters-aloft moments as possible into the five songs on their debut EP” – THE A.V. CLUB
“A thrilling formal introduction to their cathartic, bittersweet pop-punk” – NME
“Big riffs and even bigger personality” – ABC ONLINE
“Joan of Arc? Joan As Police Woman? Joan Jett? Any of these Joans, and all of them, have the unrepentant, independent spirit that sustains the indie-punk vibe of Teenage Joans.” – AUDIOFEMME

Today, Teenage Joans, the Adelaide, South Australia two-piece (Tahlia Borg and Cahli Baker) share the video for ‘Wine’. It’s the latest single from their recently released debut EP, Taste Of Me, and follows previous singles, ‘Ice Cream’ and ‘Something About Being Sixteen‘, which Rolling Stone described as “their biggest and most accomplished song to date”
The video for ‘Wine’ which premiered earlier on FLOOD was directed by Jack Bielby and Thomas Schaefer. It sees the band conceptualize the themes behind each EP track in heavily stylized settings. Switching from a British boarding school to a wedding band after-party vibe, the directors shot the band performing in each set up.
Cahli describes the inspiration behind the video: “Since ‘Wine’ is the closing track to the EP, and our favourite song off from it, we wanted to showcase the whole EP through different aesthetics. The scene where we are chasing an ice cream truck represents ‘Ice Cream’. Chasing the truck was our way of showcasing the song’s meaning of trying to keep up when life moves too fast. The table scene in the beginning has an apple pie on it (‘Apple Pie’), The counsellors office is ‘Therapist’. We played nonchalantly in the scenes, showcasing each song’s metaphor of not listening when people tell you to change. Finally, the hall scene represents ‘Wine’. We played in an empty room post-party, trying to showcase the song’s meaning of when things come to a bittersweet end.”

After taking out the Triple j Unearthed High crown in 2020, the duo have not slowed down, playing two sold out co-headline shows in Brisbane and Melbourne with TOWNS in January. They have already shared stages (and made lifelong friends with) the likes of Dune Rats, The Chats, Bugs, Ruby Fields, Dear Seattle to name just to name a few. The band have supported the one and only Amy Shark on a national tour over recent weeks, with this weekend’s dates in Adelaide and Perth being rescheduled to September. Their national headline tour in July will now be rescheduled to a later time, more information forthcoming.

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.
