Today, prepare to witness the ultimate collision between two of Australia’s most beloved pop punk acts, with the brand new single 1800-PAINLESS bringing the lush and infectious stylings of Adelaide’s Teenage Joans together with the buoyant pop punk fare of Melbourne’s Between You & Me, out today via Domestic La La.
An upbeat delight packed full of power chords, driving beats and seamless vocal interplay between both bands, 1800-PAINLESS lyrically tugs at an emphatic tale of romantic despair, with nostalgic nods and plenty of modern flair sprinkled throughout as both bands dial up their trademark pop punk in blissful fashion.
“We had such a blast hanging with our BYAM besties and creating this absolute monster of a track! We’ve been big fans of them for ages so it’s a dream being able to finally collab!” – Teenage Joans
“As long time fans, it was awesome to get into the studio with the TJ legends and write a song together. The song has all the flavours of both bands and it absolutely rips.” – Between You & Me
Forming in 2018 as literal teenagers, Teenage Joans, aka Cahli Blakers and Tahlia Borg, would go on to nab the triple j Unearthed High crown in 2020 while also insatiably charming audiences around the country over the years with their self-professed “juice-box punk-pop” sonic stylings. Having previously shared stages with the likes of Foo Fighters, Amy Shark, Violent Soho, Ball Park Music, The Chats and many more, the duo have also continued to establish themselves as firm festival faves, with appearances at Spin Off, Yours & Ours, UNIFY Gathering and beyond.
From their debut EP, 2021’s Taste Of Me which saw the group snag seven South Australian Music Awards, through to their acclaimed 2023 debut full length album The Rot That Grows Inside My Chest and recent team up with Frank Turner on Girl from the Record Shop, Teenage Joans consistently weave musical magic via their engaging indie-pop-punk creations and compelling live performances.
Evolving from YouTube acoustic covers to cementing their place as rising stars in the Australian alternative scene, Between You & Me blend influences that span blink-182, Foo Fighters, Hanson and many more. Armed an inescapable zest that has seen the group tour with the likes of You Me At Six, Knuckle Puck, State Champs and Slowly Slowly, Between You & Me wield pop punk and pop-infused alt rock, resulting in endlessly infectious songs that incite joy time and time again.
Releasing their latest EP, SH!T YEAH, earlier this year, Between You & Me are also in command of two studio albums, 2018’s Everything Is Temporary and 2021’s Armageddon, as well as their 2016 debut EP Paper Thin. Boasting loads of riffs and relatability, SH!T YEAH showcases the group firmly in command of their sonic identity, with their latest material also begging to be heard in a live setting.
Dialling up the fun this August and September, Teenage Joans and Between You & Me will be taking 1800-PAINLESS on the road this August and September, embarking on a 17-date co-headline regional run around Australia. Tickets for the 1800-Painless Tour are on sale now.
