has created indelible synth-pop with a timeless emotional quotient since 2017– crafting new memories for future generations since the release of the With four EPs and 11 singles later, joan’s top Spotify listeners hail entirely from Asia. The band’s singles “drive all night,” “superglue,” “so good,” “I loved you first,” and “love somebody” are only indications that they’re just getting started.
“When we’re home, we treat this band like a day job,” Thomas explains. “We write a lot of songs, and there are certain ones where you play it back and say, ‘This is special.’ This was that kind of song. It represents a spectral connection—the first season of joan. Everything we were going for, it embodies 100 percent.”
Joan’s full-length album ‘superglue’ has recently been released this year, which includes the song of the same title garnering a million streams on Spotify.“How do we, as songwriters, help people transcend mundanity and find joy?” Thomas asks. “That’s my personal goal. Connecting with a song can lift your spirits. Seeing how our music brings people joy—why else would we do it? It’s what keeps me going every day. I love it.” And once you make first contact with joan’s music, you will too.
Tickets to joan’s first-ever headlining show in Manila are available now via TicketNet outlets. More info at
