It&#8217;s the Adelaide duo&#8217;s first body of work since 2021&#8217;s <em>Taste of Me <\/em>EP, which itself followed the pair&#8217;s triple j Unearthed High win in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The duo of Tahlia Borg (vocals\/drums) and Cahli Blakers (vocals\/guitar) will take <em>The Rot That Grows Inside My Chest<\/em> on the road throughout November, <a href=\"https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/news\/teenage-joans-2023-tour\/\">playing headline shows in all mainland state capitals with support from bella amor, Aleksiah, and Dulcie. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conjunction with the album&#8217;s release, Blakers tells <em>Music Feeds <\/em>about the journey of personal and creative growth that took them from <em>Taste of Me<\/em> to <em>The Rot That Grows Inside My Chest<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-teenage-joans-candy-apple\">Teenage Joans &#8211; &#8216;Candy Apple&#8217;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:1.7777777777778;\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RjBs29dije0?si=Uf6to5NHLKavE5-V\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cahli Blakers: <\/strong>For <em>The Rot That Grows Inside My Chest<\/em>, we really wanted to take a step up production-wise. I think on <em>Taste of Me<\/em>, we were kind of dipping our toes into what really polished production sounds like on a rock song. Because obviously pop is very polished \u2013 that&#8217;s the whole point of pop. But historically, rock and punk have always been a lot dirtier in that garage-y, live-sounding way, which is something we had to find a middle ground with, because people love watching us live. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, we really wanted to play with the production more but still make it feel like a really full rock album, and we definitely learned a lot through that. Our producer, <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/playlist\/2SGzFESZd5eiFiLShBhXok?si=ad7c905de981422f\">Jarred Nettle<\/a>, he&#8217;s insane. He&#8217;s just open to every idea, and whether we put the idea in at the end or not, he just said yes to everything, which was cool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We worked with him on <em>Taste Of Me<\/em> as well, and I think this has been a learning process for him too. At the end of the process, he was like, &#8220;I&#8217;ve never gotten so nitty gritty with a release before.&#8221; We were really just hand-in-hand, we both wanted to make every single bar of every song have its own personality to make the song have a real wow factor. I think that&#8217;s one of the main differences between our debut EP and debut album: the production is so much bigger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:1.7777777777778;\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/G4xxhMIoDHs?si=ZlP5DiXOXoG613ZQ\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>The writing is a lot more personal on <em>The Rot That Grows Inside My Chest<\/em> too. We wrote <em>Taste Of Me<\/em> when we were both teenagers. I think we were 16 or 17 for that one. For the album, we wrote it when we were 18, 19, 20. So, it&#8217;s definitely navigating life as a young adult and understanding the world through some heavier and darker themes. It still has lots of our personality in it, just as <em>Taste Of Me<\/em> did, but it feels like we\u2019re maturing, to be honest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole album talks about this theme of things rotting, sweet things rotting. We were originally playing around with the idea of calling the album &#8220;Sweet Things Rot&#8221; because I liked the symbolism behind our first EP, which was very bright colours and beautiful, and talked about a lot of sweet food and stuff. I like the idea of us maturing and we&#8217;re almost rotting, but rot doesn&#8217;t necessarily have to be a bad thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The album talks about rotting in sort of a positive way. You have things in life that just have to rot, otherwise you&#8217;re never going to change, you&#8217;re never going to grow. I liked that idea, but we ended up going with <em>The Rot That Grows Inside My Chest<\/em> &#8211; it&#8217;s more unique and has that cool, pop-punk, long title thing going on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">&#8220;You have things in life that just have to rot, otherwise you\u2019re never going to change, you\u2019re never going to grow&#8221;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When it came to outside expectations, we just had tunnel vision. I&#8217;m not afraid of what people are going to think, because this is Teenage Jones. People love &#8216;Three Leaf Clover&#8217; and I get it. I&#8217;m also the type of person who will love a band&#8217;s first ever big song and be like, &#8220;Why don&#8217;t you like it?&#8221; But it&#8217;s not that we don&#8217;t like &#8216;Three Leaf Clover&#8217; \u2013 it has a very special place in our hearts \u2013 but it just doesn&#8217;t reflect us as a band. It had its purpose and it played its part, and we probably wouldn&#8217;t be doing a lot of things without it. But at the same time, we&#8217;ve grown up, we&#8217;ve matured. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This album is so much better than anything we&#8217;ve ever done before. People are going to have their own opinions and that&#8217;s fine. The people who this album&#8217;s meant to find \u2013 it&#8217;s for them. And if it doesn&#8217;t resonate with some people, then that&#8217;s okay too. But we&#8217;re so happy with this album and so proud of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a person who listens to music all of the time and is constantly studying music just by listening to it, I know that this is a better release than anything we\u2019ve done before. Also, I think our fanbase is pretty supportive with a lot of this kind of stuff too, so they&#8217;re growing with us. I think it&#8217;s like: everything&#8217;s got its own progression for everyone and we&#8217;re all just learning and growing together, which is fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-teenage-joans-2023-australian-tour\">Teenage Joans 2023 Australian Tour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>w\/ bella amor, Aleksiah + Dulcie (Perth only)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Thursday, 2nd November \u2013 The Triffid, Brisbane (Lic\/Aa)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Saturday, 4th November \u2013 Factory Theatre, Sydney&nbsp;(Lic\/Aa)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tuesday, 7th November \u2013 Corner Hotel, Melbourne (18+)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thursday, 9th November \u2013 The Gov, Adelaide&nbsp;(Lic\/Aa)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Friday, 10th November \u2013 Jack Rabbit Slims, Perth (18+)*<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Tickets on sale&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.teenagejoans.com.au\/\">via Teenage Joans<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Further Reading<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/news\/teenage-joans-2023-tour\/\">Teenage Joans Announce 2023 National Album Tour<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/features\/track-by-track-teen-jesus-and-the-jean-teasers-i-love-you\/\">Track By Track: Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers on their Debut LP \u2018I Love You\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/features\/track-by-track-holy-holy-give-us-the-inside-scoop-on-cellophane\/\">Track By Track: Holy Holy Give Us the Inside Scoop on \u2018Cellophane\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teenage Joans have released their debut album, The Rot That Grows Inside My Chest.
