New York, NY – Fresh off their spring U.S. arena tour as direct support for Pearl Jam and headline shows in New York, Los Angeles, and Toronto, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers return today with a radiant new indie track, “UNSCARRED.” The all-caps track explores the murky waters of situationships and the universal chaos of watching your friends date male musicians. It follows the raw indie swagger of their last single “BALCONY” and continues their creative partnership with 3x GRAMMY Award-winning producer Catherine Marks (boygenius The Record, Wolf Alice, Foals), recorded during a five-week session at The Grove Studios in Australia.

“UNSCARRED” was mixed by 3x GRAMMY winner Oli Jacobs (Kendrick Lamar, beabadoobee, Taylor Swift) and mastered by Ruairi O’Flaherty (Sabrina Carpenter, Lana Del Rey, Bleachers). The track is out now via Mom + Pop (World) and Community Music (AUS/NZ) — [stream/watch HERE].

“‘UNSCARRED’ was written after hearing about a friend’s failed situationship with a male musician,” the band shares. “It’s a feeling we can all relate to—when you think you’re on the same page as someone (who in reality can’t talk about their feelings and end up making you feel insane). It was nice being able to write from her shoes without actually going through the treachery of dating this man.” — Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers

The release follows the band’s North American run with Pearl Jam, where they performed six arena shows and made their U.S. television debut on Pittsburgh’s local news. “BALCONY” earned coverage from Rolling Stone Australia, triple j, Spotify’s Local Noise, MARROW, All New Rock, Life Without Andy, and more.

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) — are one of Australia’s most celebrated new rock acts. They broke out with their 2022 EP Pretty Good For A Girl Band, with lead single “Girl Sports” landing at #55 on triple j’s Hottest 100. Their 2023 debut album I Love You debuted at #6 on the ARIA Albums Chart and included the hit single “I Used To Be Fun” (#52 on the Hottest 100). That same year, they opened for Foo Fighters and were named one of Spotify’s New Noise Artists to Watch.

Winners of the 2024 ARIA Award for Michael Gudinski Breakthrough Artist, the band has also been nominated for Song of the Year and Emerging Songwriter of the Year at the APRA Awards, Best New Artist and Best Single at the Rolling Stone Awards, and more. Their 2024 deluxe LP I Love You Too featured standout collaborations with Softcult (“Dull”) and The Linda Lindas (“Please Me”).

Now based between Canberra and Melbourne, the band blends raucous energy with fearless storytelling, making music that’s both deeply personal and wildly fun. Advocates for climate action and equity in music, they’re as unflinching in their activism as they are on stage — a band never to be underestimated.
