Following on from the release of the anthemic single Superglue earlier this year, Candy Apple may be sonically sweet - but the track also brandishes a searingly intimate narrative.

Of their new single the band share: "Candy Apple was our first introduction into writing songs with a way more honest and personal lyric style. When we wrote it we kind of knew it would point us in a new direction for this new era, as we think it definitely shows our maturity. We loved the metaphor of “falling in love with a candy apple”, the way something so sweet and beautiful can rot really easily, and we took that into both the aesthetic side of the album when we were making the visuals, and the thematic side of the album too."

Teenage Joans will appear at the Sly Withers' curated SIDEFEST 2023 later this month, Grapevine Gathering across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia and South Australia in October, and will also appear alongside The Chats supporting Foo Fighters in Perth and Melbourne this November.
