Adelaide, Australia-based Pop-Punk duo, Teenage Joans has released the track “Bandits.” It brings an unexpected, Country-tinged edge to their signature sounds.

Written during an early 2025 beachside writing trip, “Bandits” captures “the rush and recklessness of an all-consuming, Bonnie and Clyde-style romance.” It’s a story that turns on “unwavering loyalty, blind devotion, and choosing love at any cost.”

As the band explains:

We really wanted to blend a country vibe with our classic pop punk. The song is about feeling an intense connection to someone, so much so that you would do anything for them and rule out the worst because you love them so much.

Teenage Joans have toured globally, sharing stages with iconic artists including Foo Fighters, Sum 41, Sleeping with Sirens, and many more.

You can catch them on tour this May in the UK where they will be visiting cities including Liverpool, Glasgow, Leeds, Birmingham, Bristol, London, and Brighton. They will also be supporting Hot Mulligan on select dates for their Australian tour in April.
