Concert Review: The Beaches Brings A Rock Tsunami To Brooklyn Steel

Toronto band The Beaches are just another example that this Canadian city has some serious music talent running through its water. Drake, The Weeknd, and NOW The Beaches can be added to the roster of Toronto stars rising in the states. Of course, their sound is nothing like the latter two, but yet their statement is equally as powerful and permanent. These ladies are going to make a mark on the scene by creating music for those that feel unremarkable. 
The Beaches – Late Show

I reviewed Late Show, The Beaches’ debut, and noted how each track felt like a roaring tug of war between every person, particularly ex-lover, that wanted to push you into life’s mud, and those you threw mud into their face instead. I make this point because “tug of war” is the ultimate vibe this epic quartet garnered. From “Money” to “Gold”, each of the ladies used their instruments like sledgehammers to bash every “nay-sayer” that dared to reproach their ferocity. Their cover of “Be My Baby” made me want to personally petition to be added as the Fifth Beach in their group. Their version was wrought with a sense of long, lust, and pure loathing, all at once; bringing out the relish and rebuke of feeling desire for someone, especially if they are not worth it. Hence, what I love about The Beaches in music, and especially performance, is that they show strength is not easy to carry when you are wild, fierce woman surrounded by weaker men. The “wildest” being lead singer Jordan Miller.

Miller’s range might as well gauge through high notes. The concert sphere truly brings out that this young woman can RIFF!, and her fellow Beaches are right behind her. They flow into harmonies and warrior stances as they glare into the audience with their fatalistic eyes. I can happily say I have never had an artist stare at me with such intensity like The Beaches, nor have I seen a band align, jump, and mosh in synchronization to show that chaos can be confined in one, badass sound. Thus, if you want to be reminded that rock n’ roll is for rebels, I suggest you see THE BEACHES, and click here for more information.
