Almost exactly a year ago, they released their second album 'Blame My Ex', which catapulted them beyond Canada's borders with its lead single 'Blame Brett', a tongue-in-cheek breakup banger about badly navigating the dating world and becoming a bit of an arse after a nasty split.

'Blame Brett' and their real breakthrough came six years after their debut album 'Late Show', which was released in 2017 when they were a very different band. 'Late Show' lived in the world of early-2000s garage-rock, borrowing sounds from female-fronted bands of the era like Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Metric, with a dusting of bluesier tones from bands like The Black Keys. Several musical forays later, and 'Blame My Ex' hung onto The Beaches' early ferocity and cleaned up the influences to create something janglier, leaning towards 80s British indie and resembling something more like The Smiths, The Cure and The Stone Roses.
