Rapidly rising Australian punk stars Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers have officially unleashed a new video for their knockout single ‘Miss Your Birthday’ today. Meanwhile the band are also announcing updated details for their Miss Your Birthday single tour including venue upgrades in Melbourne (Corner Hotel) and Sydney (Mary’s Underground).
The news comes shortly after the band nabbed a slot during triple j’s Hottest 100 countdown for their equally-knockout single ‘AHHHH!’ last month (#117).
In today’s ‘Miss Your Birthday’ clip, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers – comprising Anna Ryan (vocals/guitar), Scarlett McKahey (guitar/vocals), Jaida Stephenson (bass) and Neve van Boxsel (drums) find themselves in detention and missing vocalist Anna’s birthday. From the costuming and staging to the girls’ performance alongside a cameo from Slowly Slowly’s Ben Stewart, this is one of the group’s most impressive and fun music videos to date.
On today’s video, Scarlett adds:“The ‘Miss Your Birthday’ video is a big bowl full of all our favourite things! The bright colours with the lil punk schoolgirl skirts are the two sides of Teen Jesus, so it’s amazing to see them on screen for the first time! The storyline follows Neve, Jaida and Scarlett who are stuck in Detention being yelled at by their teacher (Ben Stewart from Slowly Slowly) and are missing Anna’s birthday party. The video was directed by Kyle Caulfield, who aimed to keep the story fairly loose but very visually encapsulating. We had the best time with Kyle and his team and are so excited to finally share our first real music video.”
Co-written with Alex Lahey and produced by Violent Soho’s James Tidswell, ‘Miss Your Birthday’ is a slice of instantly-memorable alt-rock, and proof yet again that Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers are an absolute must-watch rising act. Packing a punch both musically and thematically, ‘Miss Your Birthday’ touches on the relatable idea of being comfortable at your parents’ yet yearning for freedom out of home.
Since its release in November, the single has garnered over 120,000 streams, found playlist additions including Indie Arrivals, Local Noise, Fresh Finds AU, The Local List and New Music Friday AU/NZ as well as local and international press support and a full add on triple j.

About Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers:
Channelling Riot Grrrl-era energy with a 2021 spin, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasersare the most natural, unapologetic and damn likeable punk-rockers you’ll meet.
Formed during high school in their hometown of Canberra, Teen Jesus burst onto the scene in 2019 and quickly snapped attention for their teenage ragamuffin image and searingly good garage punk sound. The group cut their teeth playing festivals including BIGSOUND, Groovin’ The Moo, Laneway, Falls, Lost Paradise & Spilt Milk, supporting a slew of Australia’s finest including Polish Club, Alex Lahey, Press Club, WAAX & more, while impressing with a sprinkle of standout single releases.
As of 2021, the band have graduated into an astute group of 20 year-olds – just as concerned about issues facing today’s women and young people as they are with their loud, badass and completely cool punk sound. Announcing their signing to Domestic La La in July, the band have followed with a knockout pair of singles ‘AHHHH!’ and ‘Miss Your Birthday’.
Empowered by their youth, punk roots and a swag of inspiring influences around them (see Anna’s ex-front woman mum and Scarlett’s band manager mum, an all-female management team and a new mentor and friend in James Tidswell), Teen Jesus are real as shit girls, and they’re going somewhere.
