New York, NY – 20th September 2024 – Australia’s Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers I Love You Too LP is out today via the band’s new partnership with Mom + Pop Music and through Domestic La La in AUS/NZ. The album is a deluxe version of the band’s award winning and critically acclaimed debut full-length and features three new songs including collaborations with The Linda Lindas (“Please Me”) and Softcult (“Dull”). In addition, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers is headed to the US next week for their first ever stateside shows including September 26th at New York City’s Mercury Lounge, October 1st at LA’s The Echo, and a performance on September 29th at this year’s Ohana Festival, where they are set to perform alongside Pearl Jam, IDLES, The Breeders, and Kim Gordon among others.
In addition to their upcoming US shows, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers have been tapped by Pearl Jam and The Pixies to open for select dates on their November tour in Australia. This follows their stint with the Foo Fighters, who invited the band to join them for select shows late last year. Since the release of I Love You last October, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers have become an unstoppable force. Their debut album not only showcases the unique strengths of each member, but I Love You Too continues to build on that foundation, with three new songs that highlight the full range of their craft.
Formed during high school in their hometown of Canberra in 2019, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers – Anna Ryan (they/slay; 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 won “Best Independent Punk Album/EP” at the AIR Awards, featured “Girl Sports” that landed at #55 on the triple j Hottest 100, and saw praise from Teen Vogue, The Guardian, triple j, The AU Review, Music Feeds, The Music and Kill Your Stereo among others. The band have since 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.
