The Beaches
ActiveAbout
The Beaches are a Canadian rock band formed in Toronto in 2009 by sisters Jordan Miller (lead vocals, bass) and Kylie Miller (guitar, backing vocals), along with Leandra Earl (keyboards, guitar, backing vocals) and Eliza Enman-McDaniel (drums). The band is named after the Toronto neighbourhood where the Millers and Enman-McDaniel grew up, grounding them in their local roots while achieving international success.
In their early teens, the Miller sisters joined drummer Enman-McDaniel and guitarist Megan Fitchett to form the pop-punk quartet Done with Dolls. By 2013, after Fitchett's departure, the remaining members added new guitarist Leandra Earl and renamed themselves The Beaches. They released two EPs—"The Beaches" (2013) and "Heights" (2014)—before signing to Universal Records in 2016. Their debut full-length studio album "Late Show" was released in 2017, produced by Emily Haines and James Shaw of Metric, establishing their credibility with mentorship from Canadian indie rock royalty.
The band won Breakthrough Group of the Year at the 2018 Juno Awards. "Sisters Not Twins (The Professional Lovers Album)" won the Juno Award for Rock Album of the Year in 2022. "Blame My Ex" won Rock Album of the Year at the 2024 Juno Awards and was shortlisted for the 2024 Polaris Music Prize. On April 2, 2025, they released the single "Last Girls at the Party," announcing their third studio album "No Hard Feelings," released on August 29, 2025. The Beaches have won two Juno Awards, had seven top 5 singles, opened for the Rolling Stones and Foo Fighters, and count Elton John as a fan—all while still in their mid-20s.
