Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers unleash their second album GLORY

Produced by 3x GRAMMY Award-winning, London-based Catherine Marks (boygenius’ The Record, Wolf Alice), 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’, ‘MOTHER’ and ‘BAIT’ – 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 a million 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), The Guardian, 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.
