Teenage Dads are an Australian indie rock band formed in the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria in 2015.
The band has released two studio albums, Potpourri Lake (2018) and Majordomo (2024), and four EPs, most recently Midnight Driving (2023), which debuted at number 28 on the ARIA Charts.
Teenage Dads was formed by self-taught musicians Jordan Finlay and Connor McLaughlin in Mount Eliza, Victoria in 2015, with Angus Christie and Vincent Kinna joining the band later.
[11] They cited the Strokes and Phoenix as influences for the record, which thematically "centres around the last five years of our lives as a band".
"Exit Sign" was released in April, described by Ellie Robinson of NME as featuring "bright, jangly lead guitars and clicky drums with heartfelt, warmly sung vocal runs and a soulful, buzzing bassline".
The songs feel like diary entries, documented internally, like conversations you have with yourself when you go midnight driving.
