Still Eighteen may be one of the most distinctive rock bands working today. The trio — made up of a dad, mom, and daughter — defies expectations with a sound and intensity that has earned them international acclaim.

“That’s right, they’re a family band. But if you’re expecting warm ’n’ fuzzy, sing-songy tunes, you can ditch that image — and replace it with one where Jack and Meg White of the White Stripes have a badass baby that grows up to join them. The family that plays together SLAYS together.”
— Darryl Sterdan, Tinnitist (former national music critic, Sun Media)

On January 9, 2026, Still Eighteen released their new three-song EP SCARRED, a raw and evocative collection that explores damage, loss, and longing. The EP features the tracks “Daddy,” “I Want Someone Like You,” and “The Fire’s Still Burning.” Each song confronts a different emotional wound, reinforcing the EP’s central theme: Born from the moments that leave a mark… Every scar tells a story.

Musically, Still Eighteen blends glam-rock edge with fervent alternative power — described as David Bowie meets Pixies. Their electrifying live presence led to their selection from thousands of artists for a 50-minute original set at a major international festival lineup that included Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Kid Rock, and Billy Idol.

“Still Eighteen is an excellent, excellent band.”
— Steve Van Zandt’s Channel, SiriusXM

Music blog Noble Vybe captured the band’s impact succinctly:
“Oh heck yes! We’ve seen bands composed of childhood friends, brothers and sisters. However, when you have a father, mother, and daughter tearing the house down like Still Eighteen does, it’s quite the sight to see…”

SCARRED follows the band’s self-titled debut album, released through European label ONStage Records, whose songs were met with strong praise (Reviews). The EP release coincides with Still Eighteen’s return to Europe in early 2026 on The World Keeps Turning Tour, following a successful Brazilian tour in fall 2025. The band will perform songs from SCARRED alongside fan favorites from their debut.

Known for their non-conformist spirit, Still Eighteen often challenge the status quo through songs that address war, greed, poverty, and environmental degradation — earning them the label of a “rock protest trio” by Emerging Indie Bands. At the same time, the band balances intensity with fun, as seen in their viral track “You Hit Me Like a Drug,” whose humor-driven music video went viral on Facebook. 

Collectively, Still Eighteen’s music and videos have garnered millions of streams and views worldwide, cementing their reputation as a powerful live band with a fearless creative voice.

Initially a fan in the crowd, Karen caught Joey’s eye at a Toronto gig and instantly knew that he was "the one". Over the course of dating, marriage, and having their daughter, the pair had long dreamt of living life at a more tropical pace, specifically in the Dominican Republic, having explored the island on rusty, rented motorcycles during multiple vacations.

Their life-changing move to a small, coastal town in the D.R., best known for its kite-surfing (their favorite sport), had a profound effect on the whole family. “It really expanded our worldview,” Karen recalls. This new perspective ignited Joey’s creative inspiration and his songwriting flourished.

With such free and musical spirits at the helm, it was predestined that Samantha would catch the musical bug; at age eight, she started an all-girl rock band, Crush, and frequently opened for Joey’s band across island gigs. She started playing bass and writing her own material in her pre-teens, with her skills expanding to co-writing status of Still Eighteen's music, alongside her dad. 

In the meantime, Karen’s many years of exposure to the music world throughout Joey’s music career -- and now it being her daughter's passion -- was the catalyst for Karen becoming a serious drummer.
