#52 – triple j Hottest 100 (‘I Used To Be Fun’)“Teen Jesus bring the chaos” – Rolling Stone
“a raucous ode to bar-top mischief and reckless abandon… the track cranks up their signature grunge-punk energy with widescreen indie-rock flair.” – Happy Mag
“Their latest track feels like a collage of everything we love about TJ&TJT—from the brattish verses to the gloomy undertones in the chorus, and an energy that you know will be cranked to 11 when it’s performed live.” – Life Without Andy
“Teen Jesus show no signs of slowing down” – Somersault
“The indie rock quartet have taken Australia (and the world) by storm these past few years… pure rock energy” – The Note
ARIA Award-winning indie-rock four piece Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers unveil their second album GLORY, an album the band say is “completely us”; the work of musicians who know exactly who they are, what they’re worth and what they want to create. GLORY arrives alongside its focus track ‘WONDERFUL’ shared with its video, and already announced national tour dates this May which are on sale now (full details below). Also featuring the fiery ‘MOTHER’, ‘UNSCARRED’, ‘BALCONY’, and ‘BAIT’, GLORY is out everywhere now via Community Music / Mom + Pop. Stream / order HERE.
A song the band share was written “in a state of frustration”, focus track – and the closing song on GLORY – ‘WONDERFUL’ bottles being trapped in anxiety and feeling like you can’t get out of it, “even though you know what you have to do. It’s all about being scared of doing something but then doing it anyway,” the band shares.
GLORY is an exploration of confidence, disgust, infatuation and power set against widescreen indie-rock you can strut to, and sees Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers embrace a new, messy era. GLORY is the sound of getting the bus home after a night out, mascara smeared and battery on 1%. It’s the conspiratorial eye roll you share with a girlfriend when a loser guy is talking – it’s Cher Horowitz exclaiming “Ugh, as if!” in Clueless. Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers are taking GLORY on the road this February as part of the massive Laneway Festival 2026 lineup alongside Chappell Roan, Wolf Alice, Geese and more, and in May for their national GLORY album tour – playing their biggest venues to date and a string of all-ages shows cross so-called-Australia and Aotearoa presented by triple j and Live Nation Australia with very special guest Darcie Haven. Tickets are on sale now from teenjesusandthejeanteaser
Produced by 3x GRAMMY Award-winning, London-based Catherine Marks (boygenius’ The Record, Wolf Alice), GLORY is an album the band say is “completely us”; the work of musicians who know exactly who they are, what they’re worth and what they want to create. Together with Marks, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers locked themselves away at a home studio nestled deep in the bush on Darkinjung Land / NSW’s Central Coast for a marathon five weeks perfecting and recording GLORY, a stretch of time that allowed the band to make these songs sound exactly as they intended. Marks stoked a creative environment where the band felt empowered to say ‘no’, encouraged them to try new approaches, and, more importantly, to bin whatever they didn’t like with wild abandon, all in order to help them arrive at the truest distillation of their sound. Every vocal, every instrumental part and every lyric on GLORY emerged exactly as the band intended, their vision ringing out true and clear and their incredible musicianship taking centre stage to create the suckerpunch power you’ll hear across the album.
Across its already-released singles ‘BALCONY’, ‘UNSCARRED’ and ‘MOTHER’ – which, along with the rest of GLORY, was mixed by 3x GRAMMY Award-winning Oli Jacobs (Kendrick Lamar, beabadoobee, Taylor Swift), mastered by Ruairi O’Flaherty (Sabrina Carpenter, Lana Del Rey, Bleachers) and have collectively had more than 750,000 streams on Spotify alone – Teen Jesus have seen continued support and acclaim from triple j, Spotify’s Local Noise, New Music Friday, MARROW (US), New Noise (US) and All New Rock (US), Rolling Stone, junkee, Life Without Andy, Sydney Morning Herald, The Music, Happy, Tone Deaf and many, many others.
Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers – Anna Ryan (they/she; vocals/guitar), Scarlett McKahey (she/her; guitar/vocals), Jaida Stephenson (she/her; bass) and Neve van Boxsel (she/her; drums) – have gone from strength to strength since the release of their debut EP Pretty Good For A Girl Band (2022), with its lead single ‘Girl Sports’ landing at #55 on the triple j Hottest 100. Their debut album I Love You (2023) landed at #6 on the ARIA Charts, placed at #52 on the Hottest 100 (‘I Used To Be Fun’), with its deluxe I Love You Too (2024) featuring new singles ‘Dull’ ft. Softcult and ‘Please Me’ ft. The Linda Lindas – the former landing at #187 in triple j’s Hottest 200 this year. Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers have since raked in a slew of accolades including nominations and wins at the J Awards, APRA Awards, Rolling Stone Awards, AIR Awards and Music ACT Awards, being named one of Spotify’s Artists To Watch, and being hand-picked to open for legendary international heavyweights Foo Fighters and Pearl Jam in Australia and the US. Now based across Ngunnawal/Canberra, and Naarm/Melbourne, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers are just as concerned about issues facing today’s women, non-binary people and young people everywhere as they are with making music that continues to push boundaries and expectations. They are ambassadors for Green Music’s No Music on a Dead Planet, played Rising Tide on Parliament House steps, contributed to the Parliament inquiry into challenges and opportunities within the Australian live music industry and are firm supporters of Michael’s Rule. This is a band never to be pigeonholed, and definitely never underestimated.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
