With the release of their latest EP âMidnight Drivingâ fast approaching (out 3 March via Chugg Music), Melbourne four-piece TEENAGE DADS have today unveiled their latest single and the EPâs title track.Â
Nostalgic of late summer nights driving through the Australian suburbs, the band explain the trackwas written whilst âcoming to an understanding that a relationship is on its way out. Maybe you donât want it to end, maybe you do. Depends on which seat youâre in. Are you in the passenger seat begging to go for another drive? Or are you the driver ready to speed off into the night?â
âMidnight Drivingâ has been a favourite at the bandâs live shows for a while now, with fans learning the lyrics from live recordings and flooding their social media posts with comments demanding a drop-date for the track.Â
Â
Featuring recent singles âHey, Diego!â, âTeddyâ and âExit Signâ, Teenage Dadsâ upcoming âMidnight Drivingâ EP also features two additional unreleased tracks that take a slight sonic detour from their distinctive upbeat, experimental sound and storylines, offering something new and electrifying for fans by taking a slower, softer and more synth-heavy route.Â
Uncovering a side of their sound that is a little older and a little wiser, yet just as catchy and adventurous, the band explain that the EP â… is about perspective. How things look from one point of view, and how they can change over time from another outlook. The songs feel like diary entries, documented internally, like conversations you have with yourself when you go Midnight Driving. A constant, internal form of therapy almost.â
