The Beaches are doing everything their way. After more than a decade together as a band, sisters Jordan Miller (lead vocals, bass) and Kylie Miller (guitar), plus closest friends Leandra Earl (guitar and keys) and Eliza Enman-McDaniel (drums), are entering a new era. On the new album Blame My Ex, the 2x Juno Award-winning Toronto band channels heartbreak into self-discovery through 10 exuberant songs that revel in pain and redemption. The lead single, "Blame Brett," an acerbic pop-rock knockout Jordan calls "a song for all the hot messes out there," has racked up over 30 million streams on Spotify and over 10 million views on TikTok. The track peaked at #2 on Spotify's US Viral chart, #20 at Alternative Radio in the US and #1 at Alt Radio in Canada for 13 consecutive weeks, making it the biggest alternative radio hit of the year. Mark Hoppus (blink182), Nelly Furtado, and Demi Lovato are all fans of the track. Since the success of "Blame Brett," The Beaches sold out their worldwide Blame My Ex tour, including Toronto's Massey Hall x2 (5400 tickets), Vancouver's Orpheum (2750 tickets), Brooklyn's Williamsburg Music Hall x2 (1300 tickets), Los Angeles's Troubador x2 (1000 tickets) & London, UK's Outernet (1300 tickets).

‘I know you’re gonna miss this’ Charlie Houston wryly declares in the intro to her queer break up anthem “Pink Cheetah Print Slip” before it explodes into a high energy indie pop track that falls somewhere between Wet Leg’s “Chaise Lounge” and Le Tigre’s “Deceptacon”. The rollicking fuzzed-out single from Houston’s debut album tells the story of Houston’s ex-girlfriend leaving her to date a dude in a band. ‘I hope he’s shit on stage and all his songs sound the same,’ Houston spitefully exclaims before stating what every heartbroken person thinks when their ex moves on: ‘I know you know / He could never compare to me / When he leaves you alone / Don’t try crawling back to me’. “The hardest part of a breakup is not the actual breaking up, ” Houston explains. “It’s when someone moves on. Obviously, this is unavoidable, but it’s shockingly worse when your ex-girlfriend moves on with a dude that you know… about 3 months later… who also just so happens to be a musician.” “Pink Cheetah Print Slip” follows Houston’s two critically acclaimed EPs (2022’s Bad Posture and 2021’s I Hate Spring), millions of global streams, the nod of approval from tastemakers like Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, SPIN Magazine, and Rolling Stone, a Spotify billboard in New York’s Times Square, and a Grammy Award-nomination via ODESZA’s The Long Goodbye. The track arrives with an official visualizer courtesy of The Reggies, the director duo behind videos for bbno$, Meghan Trainor, and Dillon Francis.
