Rapidly-rising punk rock stars Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers are thrilled to announce their eagerly awaited debut album I Love You – out September 8 via Domestic La La – and share the raw, vulnerable new single ‘Never Saw It Coming’. Also featuring the recent ripping single ‘Lights Out’, I Love You sees Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers step into a new sonic territory to create an expansive debut well beyond their years.
Opening with the devastating line “in seven years / I’ll be okay / cause that’s when my cells will regenerate”, new single ‘Never Saw It Coming’ highlights the strength that comes with getting through a hard time with your friends by your side. It’s the first song drummer Neve van Boxsel brought to the band and sang lead vocals on, and while it starts with just her, one by one the other members of Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers join Neve to sing together as strings and acoustic guitar build, with a poignant guitar hook repeating throughout.
Neve van Boxsel shares, “‘Never Saw It Coming’ is the first song I wrote that I brought to the band and the first song that I sing lead on. It’s a very personal song, writing and sharing it with the others was really hard but I’m glad that I did. Even though I start singing on my own, Anna sings with me on the second verse and then Scarlett and Jaida come in so we all sing together in the end. Having them with me to sing about what I went through together felt really powerful, it made me realise that I didn’t have to go through it on my own.”
