Melbourne-based indie-pop band Teenage Dads has released its first single of 2022, as well as being announced as the support act for Lime Cordiale's upcoming national tour.
The four piece's new songExit Signbrings a blend of the sounds that have become synonymous with the band, with Jordan Finlay (vocals/synth/guitar), Vincent Kinna (drums), Connor McLaughlin (guitar) and Angus Christie (bass) all combining well and integrating different instrumental features into the three-and-a-half-minute track.
In a statement, the band saidExit Signtook inspiration from romance films and the relationships within that don't quite work out in the end.
“’Exit Sign’ is a song about relationships breaking down. Kinda based on the relationships you see in movies like 500 Days of Summer and Like Crazy," the band said.
"We wanted the song to be like those movies, you know. Follows along from the innocent beginnings right through to the bitter ends, realising maybe you weren't meant to work things out, and that maybe it's good that you've both moved on.“
