Our playlists are jam-packed with goodies, particularly from local/emerging bands. What do your playlists look like in 2020, with the release of a new single ? Any discoveries you want to shout out? Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers list 90s grunge, alt-rock, and power-pop as some of your influences. Gotta reference that blatant self-sabotage. What lyric resonates with you the most in Desk Chair?Īll the lyrics are quite dramatic (just like we were as teenagers) so it’s hard to pick! Probably the most relevant line in the song would be “I put the target on my head in the bathroom mirror”, as it relates to the themes of the song more than anything else. You describe Desk Chair as a ‘tribute to teenage feelings… about self-sabotage and wanting what you don’t have’. It’s taken us a while to figure out what our sound is, so hopefully, this release will give the song the justice it deserves!

We went through a lot of phases with our sound when we first started the band including some awkward techno-pop stages, so we love being able to play “Desk Chair” the way that we do now.

It’s funny hearing the lyrics that were written by a 16-year-old now that we are all 19 and playing so differently to how we used to. “Desk Chair” was written while we were all 16/17, but our sound has definitely matured since we first started playing it. How has your sound matured in Desk Chair? Has anything changed in your recent song-writing process, either personally or as a band? It’s a tribute to the cliched loneliness that every teenager feels, disguised as a rock song! You can definitely tell that it was written by a Year 11 student. That’s quite a big question! ‘Desk Chair’ has a lot of cheeky references to teenage angst, self-doubt and crushes, which I’m sure we all remember from high school. Below surface level, what is ‘Desk Chair’ a metaphor for? ‘Desk Chair’ is a cross-section of Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers over the years – referencing trademark sounds with new infusions. In light of their new single and matured identity, we caught up with Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasersto get their take on hometown beginnings, School of Rock, and how they use their growing platform. Members Anna Ryan, Scarlett McKahey, Neve van Boxsel, and Jaida Stephenson are also testament to the fact that age and gender have nothing to do with potential. Hailing from Canberra, the four girls are proof that our capital deserves more recognition for its dynamic music scene. If that’s not definitive of the buzz surrounding this young band, they’ve also got Falls, Laneway, and an upcoming headline tour already checked off the list. When I listened in to the premiere of their new single – ‘Desk Chair’ – on Triple J’s Home and Hosed, host Declan Byrne described their BIGSOUND showcase as jam-packed with a queue outside. Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers are as striking as their band name.
