Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers reveal “Glory Deluxe” and release new single “Bath Water”
Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers have just unveiled GLORY deluxe, a revamped version of their well-received 2025 album, featuring new tracks and stripped-down versions of existing songs. Alongside this release, the band has also dropped their latest single ‘Bath Water.’ The group is gearing up to hit the road, with tour dates scheduled across Australia and New Zealand in May, followed by shows in North America later in the year.
The indie-rock outfit, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers, have shared news of GLORY deluxe, set to be released on April 24 through Community Music. The band has introduced a fresh single, ‘Bath Water,’ accompanied by a visualizer. This enhanced album offers a fresh take on their second album GLORY, with two new tracks – ‘Bath Water’ and ‘Go Waste My Time’ – in addition to acoustic versions of fan favorites like ‘Talking’, ‘Daylight’, ‘Mine’, and ‘Wonderful’.
Coming off their successful appearances at the 2026 Laneway Festival, where they captivated audiences and even witnessed a marriage proposal in Melbourne, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers have described ‘Bath Water’ as a lively track that celebrates returning home after a night out, embracing solitude in a Ke$ha-esque manner with a nod to the infamous R4 bus from Canberra CBD to Kambah. This single sets the stage for what the band is calling a new, chaotic era in their wide-ranging indie-rock style.
GLORY deluxe marks a significant period for the band following their debut EP, Pretty Good For A Girl Band, which won them the AIR Award for Best Independent Punk Album in 2022. Their first full-length album, I Love You, debuted at #6 on the ARIA Albums Chart in 2023, producing hits like ‘I Used To Be Fun’ and ‘Girl Sports’ featured in the triple j Hottest 100. The original GLORY album, released in November 2025, made it to the #9 spot on the charts, solidifying the quartet as a prominent indie-rock act in Australia, garnering strong support from radio stations like triple j and BBC Radio 1, as well as receiving recognition from outlets such as The Guardian and Billboard.
Shaped by the expertise of three-time GRAMMY Award winner Catherine Marks, GLORY is an exploration of self-assurance, adoration, and dominance, infused with the band’s distinctive post-grunge, riot grrrl-inspired energy. The deluxe version expands on this concept with intimate reworkings of select tracks, highlighting the band’s evolution and versatility. Since their inception in 2015 in Canberra, the members—Anna Ryan (vocals/guitar), Scarlett McKahey (guitar/vocals), Jaida Stephenson (bass), and Neve van Boxsel (drums)—have maintained a strong presence, transforming from teenage friends performing under different aliases to a nationally recognized and globally touring act.
Beyond their music, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers have been actively involved in various causes, supporting initiatives like Green Music’s No Music on a Dead Planet and performing at Rising Tide at Parliament House, while also contributing to inquiries within the live music sector. Their lyrics often tackle personal and societal issues, shedding light on gendered microaggressions and capturing the experiences of young women and non-binary individuals in modern-day Australia, adding depth to their lively and dynamic sound.
The upcoming GLORY deluxe tour in Australia and New Zealand represents the band’s largest shows to date, featuring support from local artists like Darcie Haven, Sonic Reducer, Polly, Oscar the Wild, and IVY. Internationally, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers will return to the UK and Europe in August, with shows in London already sold out, followed by a North American tour in October and November, including headline performances and special appearances supporting Jimmy Eat World on their Bleed American 25th Anniversary Tour.
The journey of Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers reflects a broader resurgence of punk-infused indie rock in Australia, with bands like Cherry Glazerr and Dream Wife influencing a new wave of artists who are pushing boundaries in both sound and social commentary. GLORY deluxe reinforces the band’s reputation for blending unrestrained energy with sophisticated songwriting and production finesse. This latest release and upcoming tour showcase the band’s ability to capture the wild and delightful essence that defines their unique style.
With GLORY deluxe and ‘Bath Water’, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers demonstrate their position as one of Australia’s most vibrant rock acts, balancing domestic acclaim with critical recognition and an expanding international fan base, all while staying true to their commitment to authenticity and inclusivity in their music and overall message.
