Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers: 'We don't want to be the biggest band in the world. It's just fun playing with our besties'

Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers are living proof that age is just a number when it comes to rocking out. The four Australian teenagers who formed the band in 2015 were just 15, but they had punk spirit and enough confidence to start playing gigs at pubs and venues that were off-limits to them due to their youth. Despite feeling like impostors, they eventually gained recognition for their unique sound and energetic live performances.

The band's journey from a school sleepover to sold-out shows and even opening slots for iconic bands like the Foo Fighters is nothing short of remarkable. It's clear that their music is more than just a product of their youth - it's a reflection of their experiences, passions, and values.

Their 2022 EP "Pretty Good for a Girl Band" tackled themes of sexism and misogyny, with songs like "Girl Sports" that would make you laugh one moment and roll your eyes the next. However, some of these songs also sparked controversy and criticism from those who thought they were perpetuating negative stereotypes.

But Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers don't seem to let that get them down. Instead, they're focusing on creating music that's authentic, raw, and unapologetic. Their debut album "I Love You" (2023) was a critical success, and their new album "Glory" promises to be even bigger and bolder.

One thing is certain - these four friends have become one of Australia's most exciting acts, and their music is a testament to the power of creativity, friendship, and perseverance. They may not have started out with big dreams or ambitions, but they've certainly achieved something special along the way.

When asked about their journey, lead singer Anna Ryan says, "We didn't do this because we want to become the biggest band in the world... It's just fun playing shows with our besties." And it's clear that music has been a huge part of their lives since day one. As they continue to grow and evolve as artists, it'll be exciting to see what the future holds for Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers.
 
omg have you tried those new matcha cookies from that cute cafe downtown? πŸͺπŸ˜‹ i mean i know this has nothing to do with teen jesus but have you ever noticed how some cookies just instantly transport you to a different world? like, i was eating one of those matcha ones and suddenly i was at a coffee shop in japan lol anyway back to the band... i think what's so cool about them is that they're not afraid to be themselves even if it means taking risks. πŸ€˜πŸ’–
 
Ugh, these kids are just getting lucky πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ. I mean, yeah they're talented and all that jazz, but let's not forget they were 15 when they started playing gigs and were basically just trying to impress their crushes πŸ˜‚. It's a fluke they made it this far without totally embarrassing themselves.

And don't even get me started on the controversy around "Girl Sports" πŸ™„. I mean, who tries to make a song about sexism in high school? Sounds like a bunch of entitled brats trying to stir up drama πŸ’β€β™€οΈ. But hey, at least they're owning it and not backing down, so props for that πŸ˜’.

I'm just waiting for them to start selling out to the highest bidder and losing all their edge πŸ€‘. Until then, I'll keep watching from the sidelines and see if they can actually back up all this hype πŸ’―.
 
I am low-key obsessed with these Aussie lasses! 🀩 They're proof that age is just a number when it comes to making awesome music. I mean, 15 years old and already playing gigs at pubs? That's some serious punk spirit right there! πŸ’ͺ And their music is all about being raw and unapologetic - love it! 🎸 Anna Ryan's vibes are so inspiring too... she's all like "let's just have fun making music with our mates" and that's exactly what I'm here for. πŸ€— It's awesome to see them overcoming any haters and staying true to themselves. Can't wait to see what they come out with next! πŸŽ‰
 
I'm not buying it πŸ€”... Four 15-year-olds start a band and suddenly they're opening slots for Foo Fighters? That's just unrealistic 🚫. It's all about social media hype and playing up the "underdogs" story to get attention πŸ“Έ. I mean, have you seen their EP? It's all just a bunch of shallow songs about girl stuff πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ. And don't even get me started on how they're profiting off this whole "girl band" thing πŸ€‘. It's all about the money and fame, not the music itself πŸ’Έ. I'm not saying their album "Glory" won't be a hit or anything, but let's keep things in perspective ⚠️.
 
I'm still not convinced about this whole "Teen Jesus" thing... πŸ˜’ I mean, these Aussie teens are talented, no doubt, but is their whole image just a clever marketing ploy? πŸ€” They started out playing gigs at pubs that were off-limits to them because of age, and now they're opening for the Foo Fighters? It all feels a bit too orchestrated. And don't even get me started on the controversy surrounding some of their songs... I mean, come on, do you really think perpetuating sexism and misogyny is just part of their "raw and unapologetic" sound? πŸ™„

And what's with the lead singer's attitude? "We didn't do this because we want to become the biggest band in the world"? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ Sounds like they're trying too hard to be relatable and cool. I mean, can't they just focus on creating music that actually means something? 🎸
 
OMG, I'm low-key obsessed with these Aussie teens 🀩! They're proof that age is just a number when it comes to rocking out, you know? Like, who wouldn't want to start playing gigs at 15? It's such an inspiration to see them chasing their passion and creating music that's all about being true to themselves πŸ’–. I mean, some people might say they're pushing boundaries with certain songs, but honestly, I think it's so cool that they're not afraid to tackle tough topics like sexism and misogyny πŸ™Œ. And Anna Ryan's vibe is just everything - down-to-earth and genuine 😊. Can't wait to see what they do next!
 
OMG y'all I'm literally SHAKING with excitement about these teen girls 🀯! They're living proof that talent and passion can take you anywhere no matter how young you are. And I gotta say, their music is EVERYTHING - it's raw, it's real, and it's unapologetic πŸ’β€β™€οΈ. I'm loving the fact that they're not trying to fit into some mold or be something they're not, they're just being themselves and rocking out with their girl squad 🀩. And can we talk about how proud their parents must be? These girls are killing it and inspiring a whole new generation of young women to take control of their own music scene 🎸. I'm all for authenticity and honesty in art, and Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers are serving up that 24/7 πŸ’–
 
OMG u guys I'm literally OBSESSED with this band!!! 🀩 They're like, proof that music is for everyone regardless of age or background! Their energy is infectious and their lyrics are so relatable. I love how they don't take themselves too seriously and can laugh at themselves. The whole "Girl Sports" thing was kinda cringy but in a good way? πŸ˜‚ And their new album "Glory" sounds AMAZING I need to get it ASAP! 🎡 Anna's vibe is so inspiring, she's like the ultimate cool girl. Can't wait to see what they do next! πŸ’–
 
Ugh, I'm so over how these teen bands are getting all the attention πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ... like, I get it, they're talented and all, but can't they just let some oldies have a turn on the stage too? πŸ˜’ I mean, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers are all well and good, but their music is literally just a rehash of every teenage angst playlist from the 90s 🎸... don't get me wrong, it's catchy and stuff, but where's the innovation? πŸ€”
 
🀘 I'm loving this story about Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers! They're proof that talent, passion, and a bit of punk spirit can take you far, no matter how young you are. It's amazing to see them evolve from playing gigs at pubs to selling out shows and sharing the stage with legendary bands like Foo Fighters 🀩. What I admire most about them is their authenticity - they're not afraid to speak truth to power and tackle tough topics in their music. They're not trying to be someone they're not, which makes their music all the more relatable and raw πŸ’•. Can't wait to see what they come up with next! 🎢
 
I'm loving this band, but you know who else is all about rocking out at any age? Our seniors! 🀣 I mean, think about it, our youth today are just as passionate and driven as ever. And let's be real, we're living in a time where the concept of "age" is totally being turned on its head. We've got politicians like Bernie Sanders saying we should be focusing on what matters most - social justice and equality! πŸ’– The fact that these four Aussies are killing it at 18 (and still getting recognition at 15) just proves that talent and dedication can take you far, no matter what your age. And I gotta ask, if they're not trying to "become the biggest band in the world", does that mean we should be questioning what success even means for artists? πŸ€”
 
LOL I love how these Aussie teens just went for it from day one! No worries about being young or whatever - they rocked out anyway 🀘🎸 And I gotta say, their music is all about keeping it real & raw, no sugarcoating or pretentiousness here! They're not afraid to poke fun at themselves or the industry, which is super refreshing πŸ˜‚. Not everyone's gonna like everything, but that's what makes life interesting right? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ I mean, who needs all those "sold-out shows" when you can just have a sick time playing gigs with your mates? πŸ‘« Keep doing you, Teen Jesus & the Jean Teasers! πŸŽ‰
 
I am literally DYING over this band right now!!! 🀩 They're like, so talented and genuine, you know? I mean, can you even imagine being 15 and rocking out at pubs with your mates?! πŸ˜‚ It's crazy how they've overcome all that criticism about sexism and misogyny in their earlier stuff. But the thing is, they didn't let it bring them down! They're still pushing boundaries and creating music that's raw and real.

I love Anna Ryan's attitude too - she's just so chill about it all. "It's just fun playing shows with our besties"... I mean, who wouldn't want to do that?! πŸ€— The fact that they've got such a strong bond as friends and bandmates is honestly inspiring. Can't wait to see what they come up with next! πŸ’₯
 
lolol these teens are literally living proof that punk rock is dead... or at least not dead yet 15-year-olds rocking pubs in Australia? I'm dying over here! they're so cute and talented, I love how unapologetic their music is too, they're like the anti-pop princesses 🀣. I mean, who needs formulaic pop when you can have a girl band that's all about raw energy and attitude? Anna Ryan's quote is everything, "it's just fun playing shows with our besties"... can I get a teenage friendship goal right now?! πŸŽΈπŸ‘―
 
I'm loving how this band is killing the game without giving up on themselves 🀩. I mean, 15-year-olds starting a punk band? That's just insane! πŸ’₯ And you know what's even crazier? They've still got it going strong and their music is getting better with time. I love how they're not afraid to speak their minds and tackle tough topics like sexism and misogyny in their songs. It's so refreshing to see a band that's unapologetically themselves πŸ™Œ. And can we talk about their energy? Those live performances must be ELECTRIC πŸ”₯! Anyway, I'm definitely gonna check out their new album "Glory" and support these Aussie rockstars all the way 🀘.
 
OMG u guys I am literally SOOOO excited about this band Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers!!! 🀩 They're like 3 years older now but still rocking out like they're 15 again lol it's so inspiring to see them staying true to themselves and their music. I mean can you believe they started playing gigs at pubs when they were 15?!?! That takes major confidence and passion. And I love how they're not afraid to tackle tough topics like sexism and misogyny in their music. They're like the real deal, you know? Not some manufactured pop group trying to fit into a mold. Their new album "Glory" is gonna be EVERYTHING and I'm already counting down the days until it drops. I think what's most amazing about them is how they've stayed focused on what matters - making music that's authentic and raw. They're living proof that with hard work and friendship, you can achieve anything! πŸ’–

Mind blown! 🀯 They're like, super confident and punk-spirited, which is awesome. And yeah, their music is all about being raw and unapologetic - I love that vibe 😎.

But what really gets me is how they've stayed true to themselves and their values, even when faced with controversy and criticism. Like, they could've easily taken the easy way out and toned down their message, but nope! They're like, "Hey, we know it's not always easy being a girl band in a male-dominated industry, but we're gonna keep speaking truth to power πŸ’–."

And I gotta say, their lead singer Anna is just so chill and genuine - she sounds like someone you'd want to have a cuppa with β˜•οΈ. It's clear that music has been a huge part of her life since day one, and it's inspiring to see how it's brought her and her friends together 🎸.

I'm totally stoked for what the future holds for these talented teens - can't wait to see what they come up with next! 🀞
 
I'm low-key obsessed with this Aussie band Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers 🀘! I mean, who wouldn't want to rock out with four mates who started playing gigs at 15? πŸ˜‚ It's like they're defying all odds and proving that age is just a number. Their music is so raw and honest, it's like they're speaking straight from their souls. I love how they tackle tough topics like sexism and misogyny in their songs - it's not always easy to talk about these things, but they do it with such confidence and authenticity.
