About The Beaches

Formed in Toronto in 2013, The Beaches are a quartet of formidable talent whose journey from relative obscurity to international acclaim has been nothing short of meteoric. Comprising sisters Kylie Miller (guitar) and Jordan Miller (vocals), Eliza Bagg (bass), and Leandra Reid (drums), the band’s chemistry is palpable, both in their songwriting and on stage. Their early days were marked by a relentless touring schedule and a dedication to honing their craft, quickly earning them a reputation for explosive live performances.

Their debut EP, The Beaches, released in 2013, hinted at the sonic power that lay within, but it was their subsequent releases that truly cemented their status. The single “When You Were Here” garnered significant attention, showcasing their knack for crafting catchy melodies and relatable lyrics. However, it was their 2017 single, “Talisman,” that propelled them into the mainstream. This indie-rock earworm, with its driving riff and anthemic chorus, became a staple on Canadian radio and earned them a Juno Award nomination for Breakthrough Group of the Year.

The band’s evolution continued with their debut album, Late Show, followed by the critically acclaimed Blame My Ex, released in 2023. This latter record saw The Beaches embrace a bolder, more polished sound, incorporating elements of pop-rock and synth-pop while retaining their authentic rock edge. Tracks like the chart-topping “Blame My Ex” and the fiery “Fascination” demonstrated a maturity in their songwriting and a fearless exploration of new sonic territories. Their music often delves into themes of love, heartbreak, empowerment, and the messy realities of young adulthood, resonating deeply with a broad audience. With a growing discography of hit singles and a reputation for putting on one of the most exhilarating live shows in contemporary rock, The Beaches are a force to be reckoned with.
