The Beaches raise a glass to the ‘Last Girls at the Party’

We’ve been so busy blaming our ex over the past year or so that we totally slept on The Beaches dropping a couple of delectable new jams. But the white-hot Toronto band isn’t worried about any of that, as the unfuckwithable guitar-pop unit is purely concerned with what’s up next, and fast on the agenda is a night out soundtracked by boisterous new bop “Last Girls at the Party.”

This firecracker dropped yesterday (April 3), and it retains the playful intensity of 2023’s Blame My Ex — a wildly re-listenable and whipsmart record that’ll stand proud as one of the decade’s best. “We’re four crazy girls who like to have fun together, and are literally always the last to leave,” frontperson and bassist Jordan Miller says about the new single.

Arriving with this potent party-starter and -ender is word of the new Beaches album, titled No Hard Feelings and out August 20 via AWAL. Our only gripe is that the record hits a little earlier in the summer, as the gals’ breezy and infectious sound is just pitch-perfect for spring and summer, but hey, we’ll just blame our ex for that, too.
