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.[3] The band undertook a tour in 2011 opening for Allstar Weekend,[4] and performed the theme song to the Family Channel teen sitcom Really Me.[4] By 2013, Fitchett had departed the group and the group reformed under the name The Beaches, referencing the neighbourhood of Toronto where the Millers and Enman-McDaniel grew up.[2][5] The band also gained a new member, Leandra Earl (from Toronto's Little Italy neighbourhood), and adopted a guitar rock sound.[2][3] The Beaches released two EPs, The Beaches (2013) and Heights (2014), before signing to Universal Music's subsidiary Island Records in 2016.
They released their debut full-length studio album Late Show in 2017.[6] The album was produced by Emily Haines and James Shaw of Metric and was supported by two singles, "Money" and "T-Shirt".[7] "T-Shirt" peaked at number one on Billboard Canada Rock chart and was certified Gold by Music Canada in 2021.[8][9] The band won Breakthrough Group of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2018.[10][11] Later that year, they received a SOCAN Songwriting Prize nomination for their song "Money".[12]
In 2019, the band released its third EP, The Professional. It was accompanied by the singles "Fascination" and "Snake Tongue".[13] They toured Canada, opening for The Glorious Sons and Passion Pit.[14][15] The band was selected as the opening act for the only Canadian stop on the Rolling Stones' 2019 No Filter Tour.[16] 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.[17] In 2021, they released their fourth EP, Future Lovers, accompanied by the singles "Let's Go" and "Blow Up".[18][19] The EP consists of songs originally intended for their second album that they decided to release sooner.[20] They also announced the 2022 "Future Lovers" tour, which has 20 dates across Canada and have The Blue Stones as special guests.[21] The band won the Juno for Best Rock Album for Sisters Not Twins (The Professional Lovers Album).[22]
