In the heart of Toronto's vibrant Little Italy, the dynamic lead singer of the rising rock band, The Beaches, Jordan Miller, shares her love for her trusty bass guitar. "I'm a Fender Precision girl," she declares, enjoying a Spanish Negroni. "It's comfy for jumping around, but my hair extensions? They sometimes get stuck! Being a woman in this scene has its quirks."

This candidness is a hallmark of The Beaches' charm. The all-female rock band bursts with authenticity, style, and infectious pop hooks that resonate deeply with their audience.

A Viral Hit: Dive into Their Latest!

Their recent single, "Blame Brett," taken from their acclaimed 2023 album, "Blame My Ex," has taken the music world by storm. Winning the Juno for Best Rock Album and being shortlisted for the Polaris Music Prize, this track is a cheeky commentary on relationships, specifically one with Brett Emmons, the lead singer of The Glorious Sons and Miller’s ex. In the song, she boldly asserts, “Done being the sad girl, I’m done dating rock stars,” showcasing their playful yet assertive approach.

Relatable and Real: A Voice for Young Women

Guitarist and keyboardist Leandra Earl articulates a powerful sentiment shared by the band: "People in the audience want to see themselves onstage." The four musicians—Miller, Earl, guitarist Kylie Miller, and drummer Eliza Enman-McDaniel—are not just performers but reflections of their generation, aiming to connect deeply with their fans.

From Opening for Legends to Independent Success

The Beaches’ journey is one of resilience and renewal. Despite a prestigious history of opening for the Rolling Stones, they faced challenges, including being dropped by their label, Universal Music Canada. However, they swiftly rebounded with a new sound that blends rock with pop, leading to a thrilling upcoming 37-date North American tour.

Gone are the days of playing to empty venues; now, they are set to rock famed locations like New York's Webster Hall and Toronto's Scotiabank Arena, where they are sure to draw huge crowds.

A Change in Direction: Focusing on Accessibility and Pop Appeal

When they moved towards a pop-driven sound with new management, The Beaches began penning tracks that engaged younger audiences. Their 2022 EP and subsequent singles have showcased a shift that has proven successful, particularly with tracks like "Did I Say Too Much" and "Last Girls at the Party," which further curated a sound that resonates with women between 16 and 24.

Catching the Wave of New Rock!

As rock music sees a resurgence thanks to artists like Olivia Rodrigo, The Beaches are perfectly poised to ride this wave. "There’s much more room to play in the alternative-pop realm now," Kylie notes, and finally, as Enman-McDaniel aptly puts it, "there’s a place for us." The Beaches aren't just making music; they are making a statement—embracing their authenticity and engaging an audience ready for something real and relatable.
