No Hard Feelings
“No Hard Feelings is a pop masterclass from The Beaches”
No Hard Feelings
“The Beaches have been slingshotted to a level of fame seen by few bands this side of the border, with their 2023 smash "Blame Brett" now sitting pretty at well over a hundred million streams on Spotify alone. They've been on the cover of Exclaim! and featured on the Freakier Friday soundtrack, as well as playing prestigious festivals and exponentially larger shows — stateside and beyond. The Toron”
Blame My Ex
“The Beaches are cool and chaotic on Blame My Ex”
No Hard Feelings
“I’ve known of The Beaches for a little while, but I’ll be honest: seeing them live for the first time when they opened for Louis Tomlinson in Miami completely changed the way I listened to them. There’s a difference between knowing a band’s name and actually seeing them walk onto a stage and immediately command the room. They were energetic, confident, funny, and had this effortless chemistry that made it really easy to get caught up in their set. I remember leaving that show thinking, “Okay, I need to pay more attention to this band.” That experience definitely followed me into No Hard Feelings. What I like most about this album is how much personality The Beaches put into it. It doesn’t feel overly polished to the point where the personality gets lost. There’s still that messy, loud, slightly chaotic energy that makes their music so much fun, but there’s also a more vulnerable side that gives the album some emotional weight. “Sorry for Your Loss” was an immediate standout for me. There’s something about the combination of the guitars, the melody and the attitude that just feels very The Beaches. “I Wore You Better” is another one that really stuck with me, while “Lesbian of the Year” surprised me by showing a softer and more introspective side of the band. And then you have “Fine, Let’s Get Married,” which is just ridiculously fun and has the kind of humor that makes you want to laugh while simultaneously singing along. I think that’s what makes No Hard Feelings work for me. The album doesn’t feel like it’s trying desperately to prove something. It knows what kind of band The Beaches are. They can give you a big rock song, a brutally honest relationship song, something funny and completely unserious, and then turn around and give you something vulnerable. Somehow, it all still feels like them. And maybe I’m a little biased because of that Miami show, but I kept imagining how some of these songs would sound live. After seeing their energy firsthand, I can hear the crowd singing these songs back to them and understand why their live shows have developed such a strong following. There’s an electricity to their music that makes even the studio recordings feel like they belong in a room full of people. I wouldn’t say No Hard Feelings is a flawless album, and I still think Blame My Ex has some higher highs for me. There are a few moments where the songs can start feeling a little similar. But that doesn’t take away from how enjoyable this record is. More than anything, this album reminded me why seeing an artist live can completely change your relationship with their music. I went into that Louis Tomlinson show knowing who The Beaches were and walked away genuinely wanting to know them better as a band. No Hard Feelings feels like the perfect follow-up to that experience — confident, catchy, messy, funny and vulnerable all at once. I’m glad I finally got to see them live, because now when I listen to The Beaches, I don’t just hear the songs. I remember that night in Miami and the feeling of discovering a band that I probably should’ve been paying more attention to sooner.”
Blame My Ex
“I became a fan of The Beaches this past summer after seeing them open for Louis Tomlinson in Miami, and honestly, discovering them that way made me appreciate Blame My Ex even more. I went into that show not knowing a whole lot about them, and somehow walked out with a new band to obsess over. 😂 Listening to Blame My Ex now feels like getting a much better understanding of what makes The Beaches so fun in the first place. This album has so much attitude, personality, and confidence without feeling like it’s trying too hard. It’s messy, sarcastic, emotional, catchy, and completely unafraid to have fun with heartbreak. “Blame Brett” was obviously the song that pulled me in the most. There’s something so ridiculously catchy about it, but underneath all the humor and confidence, you can still hear the frustration of trying to move on from someone. “What’s Killing You” and “Edge of the Earth” show a slightly more vulnerable side of the band, while songs like “Shower Beer” bring back that carefree, chaotic energy that makes them so entertaining. What I really like about this album is that it doesn’t take heartbreak too seriously. There’s anger, there’s sadness, there’s pettiness, but there’s also humor. Sometimes you don’t need a dramatic breakup ballad and sometimes you just need to scream along to a song with your friends and laugh about the person who broke your heart. And knowing how much energy The Beaches have live makes these songs hit differently for me. After seeing them perform in Miami, I can practically hear the crowd singing along while listening to the album. Their music has that rare quality where you can enjoy it through your headphones, but you can also immediately imagine yourself screaming the lyrics at a concert. As someone who only became a fan this past summer, I’m obviously coming to Blame My Ex later than some of their longtime fans. But maybe that’s what makes discovering it so enjoyable for me. I’m getting to experience an album that helped define their sound while already knowing just how much personality they bring to the stage. Blame My Ex isn’t perfect, but I don’t think it needs to be. It’s fun, loud, honest, and incredibly easy to replay. More than anything, it made me understand why The Beaches have built such a passionate fanbase. I may have discovered The Beaches because they were opening a Louis Tomlinson show in Miami, but Blame My Ex is one of the albums that made me realize I wasn’t just going to be a casual listener. I actually became a fan. And honestly? I’m still wondering how I managed to sleep on them for this long.”
Late Show
“I’ll be honest, I didn’t really know much about The Beaches before this past summer. I ended up seeing them open for Louis Tomlinson in Miami, and they completely caught me off guard. I went in expecting to enjoy the opening set, but I left thinking, “Wait… why have I not been listening to this band?” 😂 That show basically sent me down the rabbit hole, and going back to Late Show has been such a fun way to get to know where The Beaches started. What I love about this album is how much personality it has. It doesn’t feel overly polished or like it’s trying too hard to be anything other than a really fun rock record. The guitars have that gritty energy, the choruses are ridiculously catchy, and there’s this confidence throughout the album that makes it easy to see why they work so well live. “T-Shirt” was one of the first songs that really clicked with me, but honestly, the more I listen, the more little moments I find myself appreciating. “Money,” “Back of My Heart,” and “Fascination” all have that same energy where you can just picture yourself hearing them live with a crowd going crazy. And I think that’s probably why this album hits differently for me now. I didn’t discover The Beaches through their first album — I discovered them on a stage in Miami. So when I listen to Late Show, I can almost connect the dots between the band I saw this summer and the younger version of the band making these songs years ago. There’s something really cool about discovering an artist backwards like that. You see them live first, fall in love with their energy, and then go back through their catalog to understand how they got there. Late Show definitely feels like the beginning of that journey for The Beaches. It’s messy in the best way, full of attitude, catchy as hell, and has the kind of songs that make you want to turn the volume up. I may have only become a Beaches fan this summer, but I’m already having that feeling of “how did I sleep on this band for so long?” And honestly, I’m glad that Louis Tomlinson’s Miami show was what finally introduced me to them. This album feels like the perfect place to start getting to know the band beyond the stage.”
