THE BEACHES & THE BLUE STONES The Beaches Toronto band 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 that and they are still in their mid-20s. Their next few singles will surprise fans with their distinctly indie-pop direction, and yet within their lyrics is a theme not uncommon to musicians or anyone in the music industry: perpetual adolescence, or as lead vocalist/bassist Jordan Miller. Refers to it as “arrested development.” Jordan; her sister, guitarist Kylie Miller, keyboardist/guitarist Leandra Earl; and drummer Eliza Enman-McDaniel are dedicated to this life. New songs “Grow Up Tomorrow,” “Orpheus,” and “My People” — to be released in this order over the next six months — are filled with humour and excellent, clever lines, many about arrested development, of course. “You’re given these momentous life moments, but because we’re in a band, those moments aren’t the same for us,” Jordan reflects. “I’m happy we chose the road we did. Maybe I’ll grow up tomorrow, and things will happen later for me.” Or not. ‍The Blue Stones The Blue Stones burst onto the scene with their acclaimed debut album Black Holes, earning a JUNO Award nomination for Breakthrough Group of the Year and building a reputation for delivering a massive, high-energy sound as a two-piece band. Known for their explosive live performances, the duo—vocalist/guitarist Tarek Jafar and drummer Justin Tessier—blend gritty rock dynamics with catchy hooks and fearless songwriting. Their third album, Pretty Monster, captures the controlled chaos of their live show while pushing their sound into new territory. Produced in part by multi-GRAMMY Award-winner Joe Chiccarelli (The White Stripes, The Strokes), the album fuses hard-hitting rock with bold creativity and powerful anthems. With their signature intensity and passion, The Blue Stones continue to electrify audiences and cement their place as one of Canada’s most exciting rock acts.
