Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers are the most natural, unapologetic and damn likeable punk-rockers you’ll meet

Formed during high school in their hometown of Canberra, Teen Jesus burst onto the scene in 2019 and quickly snapped attention for their searingly good garage punk sound. The opening of 2022 has been a monumental resume-builder for Australian punk rockers Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers: getting plucked to support the Foo Fighters, selling out a headliner at the famous Corner Hotel, invitations to some of the country’s biggest festivals and landing in triple j’s Hottest 200 with their single ‘AHHHH!’ being just the beginning. With these career wins and a few more birthdays under each of the Teenie Jeanies’ belts comes a collective sense of self-assuredness for Anna, Scarlett, Jaida and Neve.
