“Rock’n’roll is definitely in the hands of 19-year-old girls.” – Metric’s Emily Haines on co-producing The Beaches
“This classic four-piece has a rock ‘n’ roll sound that’s reminiscent of The Strokes, with unapologetic guitar-centred songs.” – Now
“The Beaches sound youthful, for sure, but they don’t sound like a young band. The sharpness of their songwriting and the range and confidence of their playing betrays the years of diligent hard work they’ve already put in to get to this point.” – The Star

Acclaimed Canadian four-piece rock act The Beaches release The Professional EP today via Dew Process and Universal Music Australia. Produced by the band’s long-time collaborator Jacknife Lee (The Killers, U2, Weezer), The Professional features three, brand-new tracks and the previously released singles ‘Snake Tongue’ and ‘Fascination.’ One of those new tracks is hip-shaker ‘Want What You Got’ that’s perfectly designed for the dancefloor and adds a neo-disco flare to their sound.

The Professional builds upon the sound of the band’s debut album. Weaving in influences from David Bowie to The Bangles to James Brown, the EP is an energetic romp into the world of The Beaches. From eschewing unwanted male attention to elevating the women they admire each song builds a specific and still relatable world for the listener.
“We’re so stoked to announce the release of our EP The Professional”, says the band’s Jordan Miller. “Thanks to everyone who helped us put this together. We’re really proud of these songs and we hope you enjoy them!”
The Professional EP follows a whirlwind couple of years for the band. After two self-released EPs, The Beaches unveiled their debut album Late Show in October 2017. Produced by Emily Haines and Jimmy Shaw of Metric, the album’s first single ‘Money’ secured #1 for three consecutive weeks and follow-up ‘T-Shirt’ held the top spot for nine weeks on the Billboard Rock Chart.
Last year also saw The Beaches opening for the Foo Fighters, accompanying the Glorious Sons on their North American Tour and headlining their own shows across Canada. Additionally, the band received an iHeart MMVA nomination in the “Best New Canadian Artist” category where they performed their hit ‘T-Shirt,’ while Sir Elton John, whose support for the girls spans multiple singles, has exclaimed: “Love them, love them, love them!” The year closed out with new track ‘Fascination’ firmly embedded in the top 10 at alternative radio in Canada.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
