SOPHOMORE ALBUM BLAME MY EX SET FOR
RELEASE ON SEPTEMBER 15
PRE-ORDER HERE

HEADLINING TOUR THIS FALL WITH STOPS
ACROSS CANADA

TORONTO, ON – May 26, 2023 – Last month, The Beaches teased their forthcoming new album, Blame My Ex (set for release on September 15 and available to pre-order here), by dropping the melodic ode-to-an-empty-feeling, Everything Is Boring. Now, the band returns with a new version of the lead single, freshly remixed by acclaimed alt-pop quartet, The Aces. Listen to Everything Is Boring (The Aces Remix) here. 
 
With their new album, Blame My Ex - their first independent album - The Beaches crack their upbeat, brazen shell to reveal a more vulnerable inside. Eliza Enman-McDaniel (drums), Leandra Earl (keys/guitar), and sisters, Jordan and Kylie Miller (lead vocals/bass and guitar respectively) are letting a real-life heartache lead the way. When the heart splits open, it unleashes all kinds of love; from platonic to queer and everything in between. The Beaches uncover it all on this album, while managing to keep it “equal parts silly party beaches, and heartbroken emotional girls,” says guitarist, Kylie Miller. The band paired with executive producer, Lowell (Madison Beer, Nessa Barrett), JUNO-nominated producer, Gus Van Go (Arkells, Sam Roberts), and producer, Sam Willows (Ruby Waters), to maintain their electric spirit. They’ve been dead-set on focusing on songwriting and melody to channel their live energy into this album for a more authentic sound. Listen to the original Everything Is Boring here, and the infectious (and currently having a viral moment on TikTok!) previously released single, Blame Brett, here. 

Known for their rousing live performances that invite their audience into their realm of intoxicating energy backed by an undeniable connection, The Beaches have opened for Avril Lavigne, The Rolling Stones, Foo Fighters, Alanis Morissette, The Aces, Passion Pit, and the Eagles of Death Metal, as well as being guest performers at the She Rocks Awards in Los Angeles in April 2023. There is no denying their lure on the stage and in everyone's playlists, including the great Elton John, who declared, "love them, love them, love them!" They've sold out two hometown Toronto shows at History and received acclaim in Prelude Press, KUTX, Indie88, Exclaim, Under The Radar, CBC, Luna Collective, Raydar Mag, and Pop Sugar. The proof is in the plays with six #1 singles on Canadian Alt Radio, and their 2022 single Grow Up Tomorrow at #1 on Alternative & Rock radio in Canada for seven weeks. The band will be hitting the road this fall on their 2023 headlining tour, which kicks off on October 8 after they wrap the summer festival circuit.

ABOUT THE BEACHES:
Named after the neighborhood they lived in, The Beaches is composed of lead vocalist/bassist, Jordan Miller, guitarist, Kylie Miller, keyboardist/guitarist, Leandra Earl, and drummer, Eliza Enman-McDaniel. As self-proclaimed lifers, The Beaches forfeited a typical university experience to pursue their careers in music - a topic that is often addressed in their lyrics.
 
Taking inspiration from artists like Muna, Dayglow, Coin, Olivia Rodrigo, Girl in Red, Wet Leg, Wolf Alice, and The Strokes, The Beaches believe their upcoming releases will be a new direction for them: “We’re not abandoning our rock ‘n ’roll roots, but for this next chapter of our career we wanted to take ourselves less seriously, have fun, and be less precious with the musical ideas we pursue.”
 
After releasing their self-titled EP in 2013, the group landed a major label deal with Island Records in 2016. Under Island Records they released their debut album, Late Show – which was described by Elton John as “The best rock album of last year” – as well as their next two EP’s, The Professional (2019) and Future Lovers (2021), which were later combined for a full-length release called Sisters Not Twins (The Professional Lovers Albums) in 2022. 
 
The Beaches have garnered over 52 million streams across Spotify, Apple and Amazon Music. Having sold 30,000 albums in Canada alone, it’s no surprise that they have found themselves awarded with five #1 singles on Canadian Alternative Radio. They have been recognized with two JUNO Awards for Rock Album of the Year (2022) and Breakthrough Group of the Year (2018).
