The Beaches

The Beaches

All-female alt-rock outfit The Beaches broke onto the circuit at the start of 2013 (a year which saw them open for Kings of Leon in Montreal) with a contemporary edge with an acerbic new wave cool, punctuated by the odd L.A-inflected hook that allows them to flip their sound from snarly to sunny as their whims dictate. Proud pioneers of today’s new-wave class of fem-rock and imbued with the snarl and spit of romantic defiance, youth rebellion and peer solidarity that makes the band such a formidable force to be reckoned with. Once starting as 16 to 19-year-old girls has seen their saw-toothed sound that recalled that of The Strokes, The White Stripes and Metric turn into something that is completely their own.
