THE BEACHES: Dropped From Their Label to Viral Rock Band, Thanks to Their Ex | Full Interview

Canadian rock band The Beaches have spent years building their story from teenage bandmates to one of the most exciting names in modern rock. In this episode, sisters Jordan and Kylie join the podcast to take it all the way back to their first band Done with Dolls, and the early years of growing up making music together. We talk about navigating the music industry as a female rock band, the moment they walked away from a team that didn’t understand their vision, and the viral success of their breakout track Blame Brett. The conversation also dives into the balance between writing deeply personal songs and sharing those stories with the world, and how that changed their perspective during the making of their album No Hard Feelings.
