The Beaches
The Beaches are a powerhouse alt-rock band hailing from Toronto, Canada, composed of sisters Jordan and Kylie Miller alongside Leandra Earl and Eliza Enman-McDaniel. Known for their unapologetic energy and clever lyricism, the group first gained attention for blending garage rock grit with pop sensibilities and bold feminist undertones. Their sound channels influences from The Strokes, Blondie, and HAIM, while maintaining a distinctly modern edge that’s fueled their rapid rise in North America and beyond.
The Beaches released their debut album Late Show in 2017, earning critical acclaim and a devoted fanbase. The record’s breakout single “T-Shirt” became a radio hit and set the stage for their 2018 Juno Award win for Breakthrough Group of the Year. They followed that success with The Professional Lovers Album in 2022, which went on to win Rock Album of the Year. The Beaches music thrives on themes of friendship, heartbreak, and self-discovery—all delivered with an electric mix of confidence and vulnerability that’s become their trademark.
In 2023, The Beaches released Blame My Ex, a fearless and infectious record that solidified their reputation as one of the most exciting modern rock acts. The album’s hit singles, including “Blame Brett,” gained viral traction and showcased their growth as songwriters and performers. Building on that momentum, the band released their latest studio album No Hard Feelings in August 2025, featuring standout singles like “Last Girls at the Party” and “Did I Say Too Much.” With sold-out shows, growing international acclaim, and a loyal fanbase, The Beaches continue to prove that rock and roll is alive, loud, and led by women.
