Ryan celebrated their birthday during the band’s performance at Spotify House for the debut SXSW Sydney RADAR Showcase. That was just one highlight from a momentous 2023 for Teen Jesus And The Jean Teasers, a year that saw their debut album, I Love You, land at #6 on the ARIA Albums Chart and #3 on the Australian Albums Chart last October.
With already-released songs exploring systemic sexism (Girl Sports), fighting self-doubt (Lights Out), and navigating a relationship that’s changed too much to ignore (AHHH!), I Love You arrived as a new collection of candid reflections and sonic delights.
The Music later crowned I Love You one of the best Australian albums of 2023. A record a long time in the making, the Aussie four-piece put out a string of stellar singles before releasing their first EP, Pretty Good For A Girl Band.
Teen Jesus And The Jean Teasers kept up that momentum with the album, remaining unflinchingly honest with unforgettable tunes. They’re the kind of band that channels Riot Grrrl-era energy with a 2023 spin, and they happen to be the most natural, confident, and likable punk rockers you’ll hear.
Soon after the album’s release, Teen Jesus And The Jean Teasers were cover stars for The Music.
