TEENAGE DADS
RETURN WITH SUMMERY, SCI-FI INSPIRED NEW SINGLE:
“SPEED RACER”
– OUT NOW, CHUGG MUSIC –
PLUS, ANNOUNCE UK + IRELAND HEADLINE TOUR
Australian breakthrough act Teenage Dads are back with a science fiction-inspired new single “Speed Racer” (streaming now, via Chugg Music).
Following a series of electric live shows across Europe in recent weeks supporting Lime Cordiale, the band are now pleased to confirm their first ever UK + Ireland headline gigs and will return for a short stretch of shows in June.
Combining gritty yet melodic retro-inspired vocals, tight-knit rhythms and memorable hooks, new single “Speed Racer” captures the essence of Teenage Dad’s eclectic fusion of genres and proves again their perfected knack for engaging story-telling. Speaking about the inspiration for the track, the band explain: “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.”
With a dynamic interplay of funky basslines, driving percussion, and vibrant synth textures, Teenage Dads create a mesmerising sonic landscape reminiscent of the Talking Heads’ experimental spirit while staying true to their own characterful sense of fun.
“Speed Racer” 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. Since then, the band have taken 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.
My life is a soundtrack, i track my life through music, photography is my passion, my escape, my expression. Without both i have pieces missing, thankfully i’m blessed and get to combine both.
