TEENAGE JOANS
THEY ARE a two-piece pop-rock powerhouse who call Adelaide home, but are sure to find themselves in high demand around the whole world soon enough. Simply put, Cahli Blakers (vocals/guitar) and Tahlia Borg (drums) are a match made in musical heaven.
THEY SOUND LIKE the kind of band that Fueled By Ramen would’ve killed a man to sign in the early-to-mid 2000s. Their tunes are bright and boomy and wickedly accessible, but sharper than a shard of the glass you’ll knock over from dancing too hard when one of their songs starts playing.
YOU’LL DIG THEM IF YOU LIKE Tiny Moving Parts, Ruby Fields and Tigers Jaw. They fit in well with their classmates in the new wave of Australian pop-rockers, too, so if you’ve found yourself vibing hard with WAAX or The Hard Aches as of late, Teenage Joans will make for a no-brainer addition to your daytime playlist. That being said, they have plenty of charm that’s entirely their own.
YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT their inhumanly catchy debut single “By The Way”, which clocks in just shy of three minutes but packs more than its fair share of crunchy riffs and cruisy melodies. They may only have other track to their name at the moment, but rest assured Teenage Joans are sitting on a torrent of gold just waiting to erupt. Once it’s legal to go outside again, make sure to catch one of the duo’s rambunctious live shows, where they bash out the bangers in abundance.
