Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers are an Australian rock band composed of four teenage friends who started playing music together after watching a film about punk rock at a sleepover in 2015. The band's name was suggested by one of their uncles, and they quickly gained popularity for their energetic live performances, despite being underage.
Their early shows were marked by a sense of rebellion and punk spirit, with adults assuming they were older than they actually were. The band members, Scarlett McKahey (guitarist), Anna Ryan (singer), Jaida Stephenson (bassist), and Neve van Boxsel (drummer), have always prioritized having fun playing music together over fame or fortune.
As they grew in popularity, the band faced challenges related to their age and sex. Despite this, they persevered and eventually released their debut album, "I Love You," which included the hit singles "Salt" and "Ahhh!" The album earned them the award for Best Breakthrough Artist at the Aria Awards.
Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers have since opened for renowned bands like Foo Fighters and Pearl Jam, a feat they consider both thrilling and surreal. Despite their success, the band remains committed to their core values of friendship, fun, and creative freedom.
Their new album, "Glory," marks a significant evolution in their sound, with a darker, more synthy tone. The album's lead single, "Balcony," has been praised for its catchy hooks and energetic vibe, while the ballad "Unscarred" showcases the band's ability to craft emotionally resonant songs.
Throughout their journey, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers have remained true to themselves, refusing to compromise on their artistic vision or values. As they continue to tour and release new music, their dedication to their friendship and passion for rock 'n' roll has only grown stronger.
