Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers. Try repeating that name a couple of times quickly and you are likely to drop the ball. That’s not the case for the band who, like the title of their debut EP correctly implies, are indeed Pretty Good For A Girl Band, or any new band for that matter. The title of the EP of course is meant sarcastically and a response to mansplainers coming up to the band with unsollicited offers for help and cringeworthy comments about not being too bad for a bunch of girls.
The four Australian women in Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers are young, but their sound oozes nostalgia for the altpop and grunge of the previous century. They channel that nostalgia and put their own contemporary indiepunk spin on it. Songs like Miss Your Birthday, AHHHH! are extremely fun, and I can see this band creating some serious waves in the global pop scene in the coming years.
Pretty Good For A Girl Band is out now on Domestic la la.
