New York, NY (Top40 Charts) JUNO Award-winning rock band, The Beaches, release their new EP,
Future Lovers, today via Universal Music. Produced by long-time collaborator Jacknife Lee and written by all four band members, Lee and Coco Morier,
Future Lovers was initially recorded in Los Angeles during sessions for the band's 2019 release, The Professional.
"The pandemic gave us the opportunity to look at some of these songs and give them some new Beaches twists before they were released," said lead singer Jordan Miller. "You know, we've kind of all matured a little being stuck at home for over a year."
At 11:30 AM EDT today, The Beaches will join fans on YouTube to discuss the EP, followed by the premiere of the music video for lead single "Blow Up." Directed by Alex Smith, the visuals bring the band's sound and personalities to life, as each band member stars in their own vignette, veering quickly towards insanity while the world around them erupts.
Future Lovers highlights the band's impressive musicianship and song-writing skills, which are complemented, as always, by the killer vocals and whimsically acerbic lyrics that The Beaches are known and loved for. The EP brims with the band's wit and personality, which is heard loud and clear on each track, from the energetic bop-ready "Blow Up," anthemic "Let's Go," the nostalgic guitar-driven "Bad Behaviour," the cheeky infatuated synth-track "Slow Mo," and the heavy and pensively powerful finale, "You Don't Owe Me Anything."
Future Lovers is The Beaches' first set of new songs since their last EP, The Professional, released in 2019. The Professional saw the group continue to evolve as songwriters and musicians, working with renowned producer Garrett "Jacknife" Lee, whose previous collaborations include U2, The Killers, Bloc Party, Snow Patrol, and Taylor Swift. The 2019 EP spawned four hit singles and topped Canada's Alternative
Radio Chart twice with "Want What You Got" and "Lame," both topping the chart for an impressive six weeks. The band's highly successful 2020 The Professional Tour travelled across Canada, culminating with three of their 15 sold-out shows at The Danforth, in The Beaches' hometown of Toronto.

Named appropriately after the Toronto neighbourhood they all hail and hang in, The Beaches are authentically rock 'n' roll. Their '70s aesthetic, unapologetic attitude and electrifying sound all fit harmoniously in a modern rock context. Comprised of sisters Jordan and Kylie Miller (on lead vocals/bass and guitar, respectively),
Eliza Enman-McDaniel (on drums), and Leandra Earl (on keys and guitar), the band has a natural kismet that shines through on each track and in their live performances. The Beaches have become one of Canada's top acts with a global reach, placing them in a modern and future context where rock prevails and marking them one of this generation's most promising young rock groups.
Since their sizzling major label debut in 2017 with LP, Late Show, produced by Metric's
Emily Haines and Jimmy Shaw, the quartet has accumulated an array of impressive highlights. To this day, Late Show's singles remain fan and Rock radio favourites. The album's first single, "Money," secured the No.1 spot for three consecutive weeks and the infectious track "T-Shirt," which spent nine weeks on the Billboard Rock Chart, recently became Gold Certified in Canada. With five Top 5 Alt
Radio singles, a JUNO Award for Breakthrough Group of the Year, opening tour spots for icons like The
Rolling Stones and The Foo Fighters, and much more - this is just the beginning of what The Beaches have in store. "T-Shirt," "Fascination," and "Snake Tongue" remain regular recurrent tracks on Canadian Rock
Radio today.
Gaining recognition from the world's most renowned artists, including the likes of Elton John, who has proclaimed: "Love them, love them, love them!", The Beaches are back and have no plans to slow down. And when touring comes back, expect The Beaches to hit the road hard. Stay tuned for much more to come in 2021.
