Joan is an emerging pop duo known for their refreshingly modern yet nostalgically influenced sound, which resonates with fans of 80s and 90s music while infusing contemporary pop sensibilities. Comprised of Alan Benjamin Thomas and Steven Rutherford, the pair has quickly captured the attention of the indie pop scene with their infectious melodies and heartfelt songwriting. Since their debut, Joan has been on a steady climb, demonstrating their versatility through the evolution of their sound showcased in tracks ranging from the energetic "feeling like dancing (again)" to the introspective and stripped-back versions of "nervous" and "superglue."

Their discography reveals a knack for balancing upbeat pop anthems with emotionally resonant tunes, evident in the contrasts between songs like the dance-ready "hi" and the reflective "loner." Collaborations, such as on "superglue" featuring NOA and Zack Tabudlo, further highlight Joan's ability to blend genres and work with a range of artists. The sped-up version of "don't wanna be your friend" reveals their playful side, while the original track underscores their polished production and songcraft. As Joan continues to experiment with their sound and release music that connects with a growing audience, they stand as a testament to the vibrant and evolving landscape of contemporary pop music.
