Back home after supporting Pearl Jam, punk rockers Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers have shared another new single, ‘UNSCARRED’.
Following the previously released ‘BALCONY’, the quartet’s latest exposes the failings of situationships and is based on a real-life incident.
“‘UNSCARRED’ was written after hearing about a friend’s failed situationship with a male musician,” the band said in a statement.
“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 ends 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.”
Written during the band’s five-week stint at The Grove Studios, ‘UNSCARRED’ was produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Catherine Marks (boygenius, Wolf Alice, Foals), mixed by fellow award-winner Oli Jacobs (Kendrick Lamar, beabadoobee, Taylor Swift), and mastered by Ruairi O’Flaherty (Sabrina Carpenter, Lana Del Rey, Bleachers).

Formed in 2015, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers comprises Anna Ryan (they/she; vocals/guitar), Scarlett McKahey (she/her; guitar/vocals), Jaida Stephenson (she/her; bass) and Neve van Boxsel (she/her; drums).
The band flew out of the gates in 2022 with the release of their debut EP, Pretty Good For A Girl In A Band, and followed up a year later with their debut 2023 record, I Love You, which peaked at #6 on the ARIA Album Chart.
A deluxe version entitled I Love You Too followed in 2024 and featured the singles ‘Dull’, a collab with Softcult, and ‘Please Me’, featuring The Linda Lindas, along with countless award nominations and wins.
Now based across Ngunnawal/Canberra and Naarm/Melbourne, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers are readying the releaser of their hotly anticapted sophomore album.
