Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers Drop New Single ‘BAIT’ and Announce 2026 GLORY Album Tour
ARIA Award-winning indie rock powerhouse Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers are back in full force, unleashing their fierce new single ‘BAIT’ alongside the announcement of their highly anticipated GLORY Album Tour, set to hit major venues across Australia and New Zealand in May 2026.
Fresh from being added to the Laneway Festival 2026 lineup alongside Chappell Roan, Wolf Alice and Geese, the Canberra-born, now Sydney/Melbourne-based four-piece are entering what they call their “big ego, full menace mode” era. Clocking in at just over two minutes, ‘BAIT’ is a swaggering, bass-heavy anthem that takes aim at the industry’s most delusional egos.

‘BAIT’ is big ego, full menace mode. We wrote it in LA, channeling a delusional man who thinks he’s God’s gift to earth. It was fun to cosplay as someone we’d all probably hate in real life.”
Produced by Catherine Marks (boygenius, Wolf Alice) and mixed by Oli Jacobs (Kendrick Lamar, beabadoobee, Taylor Swift), ‘BAIT’ offers a taste of the band’s forthcoming album GLORY, due out November 7 via Community Music / Mom + Pop. The record promises to be a bold exploration of confidence, power, and messy late-night emotions — the kind of unapologetic energy fans have come to love.
