Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers got going in Canberra in 2015, and the name alone should tell you they came to cause a little trouble. Anna Ryan sings, Scarlett McKahey plays guitar, Jaida Stephenson plays bass and Neve van Boxsel drums, with Pip Gazard on keyboards in the early years before leaving in 2018.
Their first EP, released in 2022 on Domestic La La, was called Pretty Good for a Girl Band, a title with its tongue jammed firmly in its cheek. It carried the spiky, gleeful "Girl Sports" and won Best Independent Punk Album or EP at the AIR Awards in 2023.
The full-length debut, I Love You, followed in 2023 and went to number 6 on the ARIA Albums Chart, with "I Used to Be Fun" swinging between a snarl and a grin. Glory arrived in November 2025 with "Balcony", more proof that the band can make scrappy, hook-loaded alt-rock that hits like a sugar rush with a bruise underneath.
