joan(Alan Benjamin Thomas and Steven Rutherford) have spent the past few years buildingtheir musical empire, single by single, tour date by tour date, with the past three years beinglandmarks for them. Their debut EP, 2019’s ‘portra’,followed by 2020’s ‘cloudy’ and the reimagined re-releases of many of those songs into the “partly cloudy” that same year led them to the most recent ‘wave era’ which saw new singles of their trademark alt-pop bops, tinged with the sweetest hint of 90’s R&B influenceslanding on the first Thursday of each month throughout the majority of 2021 alternating into the building of two dueling EP’s individually titled ‘hi’ and ‘bye’ also described collectively as “wave” They are excited to soon announce the anticipated next chapter of release plans for 2023 and beyond.These consistent releases have establishedjoanas a constant streaming artist with well over 110 million streams and over a million listeners a month across streaming platforms.The band have spent much ofthe past 3 years (save for a specific period in 2020 we dont like to talk about) on the road with major US and international tours supporting the likes of The Aces, COIN, Bloc Party and Jeremy Zucker, as well as playing to fans across Asia with huge headline shows and festivals in the Philippines, Thailand, Singapore and Hong Kong.Early 2020 saw them playing to sold out crowds across the US on their first headline tour.
