The Beaches (band)


The Beaches are a Canadian rock band formed in Toronto in 2013. Named after the Toronto neighbourhood where three of the four members grew up, the band consists of Jordan Miller, Kylie Miller, Leandra Earl, and Eliza Enman-McDaniel. They released their debut album, Late Show, in 2017. They won the Juno Award for Breakthrough Group of the Year in 2018.

History

In their early teens, sisters Jordan and Kylie Miller joined Eliza Enman-McDaniel and guitarist Megan Fitchett to form the pop punk quartet Done with Dolls in their hometown of Toronto. The band undertook a tour in 2011 opening for Allstar Weekend, and performed the theme song to the Family Channel teen sitcom Really Me. By 2013, Fitchett had departed the group, being replaced by Earl, and the band adopted a more adult sound and the name The Beaches from the neighborhood of Toronto where the Millers and Enman-McDaniel grew up.
The Beaches released two EPs, The Beaches and Heights, before signing to Universal Music's subsidiary Island Records in 2016. They released their debut full-length studio album Late Show in 2017. The album was produced by Emily Haines and James Shaw of Metric. The band won Breakthrough Group of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2018. Later that year, they received a SOCAN Songwriting Prize nomination for their song "Money".
In 2019, the band released its third EP, The Professional. It was accompanied by the singles "Fascination" and "Snake Tongue". They toured Canada, opening for The Glorious Sons and Passion Pit. The band was selected as the opening act for the only Canadian stop on the Rolling Stones' 2019 No Filter Tour. On November 24, 2019, they appeared as the on-field pre-game entertainment before the kick-off of the 107th Grey Cup in Calgary, performing "Fascination" and "T-Shirt". They later announced a 2020 headlining tour of Canada.
