Pretty Good for a Girl Band, the debut EP from Canberra's Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers, came out on 13 May 2022 through Domestic La La, produced by James Tidswell and Alex Lahey. The band started as teenagers at school in 2015, and by now the lineup was Anna Ryan singing, Scarlett McKahey on guitar, Neve van Boxsel on drums and Jaida Stephenson on bass.
The title is a sneer, and the songs push back at the sexism the four of them have run into in music. "Girl Sports" is the loudest shot, sparked by a male dentist who told Stephenson she ought to stick to girl sports, and its bassline owes a debt to Idles' "War". The slow-burning closer "Bull Dragon" leans on Arctic Monkeys' "505" instead. It won Best Independent Punk Album or EP at the 2023 AIR Awards, with 3 more nominations for the band.
