Teen Jesus And The Jean Teasers & The Linda Lindas Join Forces For ‘Please Me’
Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers. The Linda Lindas. They don’t mess around. We’re going a little off script for this one.
They’ve just dropped the collab single Please Me. It’s a song about faking it till you make it, and it is high energy – we’re talking wall-to-wall gang vocals, tearing guitar riffs, and it goes for like one and a half minutes.
“Please Me is about faking it till you make it. The lyrics are so cocky and overconfident, almost like an inner monologue of affirmations that you’d tell yourself on the way to a party. It’s about embodying the cool girl mindset until everyone has a big fat crush on you.
“These are the things you’d tell yourself and end up feeling sexy and cool and like everyone in the world is obsessed with you, even if you’re actually just super delusional and maybe had one too many Cruisers.” – Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers
The Linda Lindas included Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers’ debut album I Love You in their favourite albums of 2023 for Brooklyn Vegan. Which was a lovely surprise to the band, they’re long time fans. When it came time to record Please Me, Teen Jesus knew there was a call they had to make:
“We just had to collaborate with The Linda Lindas on this one, because the musical style of Please Me is very inspired by them! Their song ‘Oh!’ has been one of our favourites for a long time so we knew they could help take ‘Please Me’ to another level.”
Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers are releasing the I Love You Too deluxe edition this Friday 20 September through Domestic La La, and on Mom + Pop in the US. It features Please Me feat. The Linda Lindas, Dull feat. Softcult and a third new track we thought it would be a good time but it was a bad time. They were also just announced to support Pearl Jam on three dates on their massive Australian tour this November.
Teen Jesus tour the US for the first time this month, playing headline shows in NYC and LA and Ohana Festival with The Breeders, Kim Gordon, Alanis Morissette and more. Then, they’re hitting the road for their national I Love You Too tour of so-called Australia this November (yes, even Perth) and are also playing Big Pineapple and NYE on the Hill Festivals.
