The band featured Ben Knight on drums and Zack Penney on guitar and vocals, delivering raw, minimalist punk inspired by lo-fi acts like the Urinals, The Mummies, and Jay Reatard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">The project evolved from the Auckland hardcore punk scene. Knight and Penney had previously played together in <strong>The Wrongmen<\/strong>, which ended around 2007. After that split, they formed <strong>Psychic Jams<\/strong> in Auckland. In 2009, Knight relocated to Wellington and helped launch the d-beat band <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2025\/07\/rogernomix\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"425\">Rogernomix <\/a><\/strong>(with Sam Thurston and Sarsha Leigh-Douglas from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2025\/06\/shortlived\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"452\">Shortlived<\/a><\/strong>, plus vocalist Tanya Jeffrey). Psychic Jams performed at Shortlived\u2019s final Auckland show in May 2009, shortly after Knight had already debuted with Rogernomix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;autoclose&quot;: false, &quot;accordionItems&quot;: [] }\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/accordion\" role=\"group\" class=\"wp-block-accordion is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-is-layout-flow\">\n<div data-wp-class--is-open=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;id&quot;: &quot;accordion-item-1&quot;, &quot;openByDefault&quot;: false }\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initAccordionItems\" data-wp-on-window--hashchange=\"callbacks.hashChange\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-item is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-item-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading\"><button aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-item-1-panel\" data-wp-bind--aria-expanded=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.toggle\" id=\"accordion-item-1\" type=\"button\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle\"><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-title\">Read more<\/span><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">+<\/span><\/button><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div aria-labelledby=\"accordion-item-1\" data-wp-bind--hidden=\"state.isHidden\" data-wp-on--beforematch=\"actions.handleBeforeMatch\" id=\"accordion-item-1-panel\" role=\"region\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-panel is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-panel-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\">By early 2010, the duo shifted focus: they played a notable gig at <strong>Stink Magnetic HQ<\/strong> in Whanganui on March 11, 2010, alongside <strong>Rogernomix<\/strong> and <strong>Double Ya D<\/strong>. Around May 2010, with the release of their debut (and only) EP, <strong>Show U My Delite<\/strong>, they rebranded as <strong>Teen Hygiene<\/strong>. The 7&#8243; EP &#8211; self-released in an edition of 200 &#8211; featured four stripped-back tracks, including &#8220;<em>Self Diagnosin<\/em>&#8216;&#8221; and &#8220;<em>Girl Generator<\/em>.&#8221; It was recorded by Tim Shann in December 2009 and captured their no-frills, scuzzy garage-punk sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\">To promote the EP, Teen Hygiene embarked on a North Island tour, hitting Auckland, Hamilton, Palmerston North, and Whanganui, before capping it with a packed, sweaty show at their <strong>Garrett Street <\/strong>base in Wellington. The band often tied their gigs to social and political causes, including animal rights and fundraisers supporting Gaza and Palestine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\">In April 2011, two of their songs appeared on the compilation <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2011\/04\/welcome-to-the-arse-end-of-the-world\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"16689\">Welcome To The Arse-End of the World<\/a><\/strong>. They performed at the 12&#8243; vinyl launch for that release, which marked their final show.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator
