The Just Joans are a heartwarming blend of indie-pop and Scottish wit, hailing from Motherwell, shaped by the songwriting talents of siblings Katie and David Pope. Formed in the mid-2000s, their discography is a testament to a band that blends humor with poignancy, crafting songs that are as catchy as they are emotionally resonant. With a name inspired by the Scottish agony aunt Joan Burnie, The Just Joans have cultivated a dedicated following through their relatable lyrics and melodies that marry the everyday with the profound.

Their body of work, including "Card From a Multipack (Ten Year Anniversary Edition)" which commemorates a decade of their musical journey, reveals an evolution in sound while maintaining the charming, DIY ethos that has garnered them critical acclaim within the indie music scene. Albums like "The Private Memoirs and Confessions of The Just Joans" showcase a band adept at exploring themes of love, nostalgia, and the bittersweet nature of growing older, all while maintaining a uniquely wry sense of humor. Tracks such as “No Longer Young Enough” and “Dear Diary, I Died Again Today” resonate with anyone who has ever felt the passing of time or the pangs of unrequited love, making The Just Joans a band that not only entertains but also connects deeply with the listener’s own experiences.
