Rapidly rising stars TEEN JESUS AND THE JEAN TEASERS recently released I Love You Too, the deluxe edition of their critically acclaimed debut album I Love You, featuring the new songs ‘Please Me’ feat. The Linda Lindas, ‘Dull’ feat. Softcult and the final track ‘we thought it would be a good time but it was a bad time’ – which follows four young Teen Jesus’ as they try weed brownies for the first time in high school. Stream I Love You Too HERE.

Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers are in the United States now ready to play headline shows in New York City and Los Angeles, and to perform at Ohana Festival alongside a stacked lineup including Alanis Morissette, IDLES, Kim Gordon, The Breeders and more. On their return they are touring so-called-Australia nationally on the I Love You Too album tour this November and supporting Pearl Jam – full dates and details below.

Earlier this week Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers dropped the one-and-a-half-minute ‘Please Me’ feat. The Linda Lindas, and today unveil the final song from I Love You Too, ‘we thought it would be a good time but it was a bad time’. A sonically darker, rock leaning song dripping in teenage angst, it was written during a period of “teenage melodrama”, after four highschool TeenJesus’ decided to make weed brownies for the first time. The band share, “We all ate way too many and ended up in a mall food court thinking we were dying. This song is a very angsty depiction of those feelings, the way a 15 year old would feel following a pretty normal teenageexperience. It took us years to admit what this song was about in case our parents got angry, but now that we’re in our mid-20s we’ve decided it’s finally time to put it out into the world. And everyone remember, always start small and wait for it to kick in! You don’t want to end up being kicked out of the Hoyts foyer at 7pm on a Tuesday after school.”

Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers stepped into new sonic territory on I Love You to create an expansive debut album well beyond their years. The individual strengths of their four distinct personalities in the band shine through, with their core dynamic based on a shared love and mutual respect for each other’s work ethic and talent. This continues on I Love You Too, with the three new songs showcasing the breadth of their craft spanning the delicate melodic moments on ‘Dull’ to the riot grrl-inspired wall-to-wall gang vocals on ‘Please Me’. This is a band never to be pigeonholed, and definitely never underestimated.

I Love You debuted at #6 on the main ARIA Chart, placed at #52 on the Hottest 100 (‘I Used To Be Fun’), and saw the band open for Foo Fighters and be named one of Spotify’s New Noise Artists To Watch in 2024. They’ve since raked in a slew of accolades including nominations for Australian Album of the Year at the J Awards, Song of the Year (‘I Used To Be Fun’) and Emerging Songwriter of the Year at the APRA Awards, Best New Artist and Best Single (‘I Used To Be Fun’) at the Rolling Stone Awards, Independent Song of the Year (‘I Used To Be Fun’) at the AIR Awards, and winning Best Independent Rock Album or EP at the AIR Awards and Artist of the Year at the Music ACT Music Awards. This is a band never to be pigeonholed, and definitely never underestimated. 

Formed during high school in their hometown of Canberra in 2019, TEEN JESUS AND THE JEAN TEASERS – Anna Ryan (they/them; vocals/guitar), Scarlett McKahey (she/her; guitar/vocals), Jaida Stephenson (she/her; bass) and Neve van Boxsel (she/her; drums) – made their mark with their debut EP Pretty Good For A Girl Band (2022), which featured ‘Girl Sports’ that landed at #55 on the triple j Hottest 100 and saw praise from The Guardian, triple j, frankie, The AU Review, Music Feeds, The Music and Kill Your Stereo among others. Now based across Dharawal Country/Wollongong, Ngunnawal/Canberra, and Naarm/Melbourne, the band have graduated into an astute group of early twenty-somethings, 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 the boundaries.
