The Beaches are back, and they’re not holding anything back with their latest single, “What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Paranoid.” This track serves as the electrifying final teaser before the release of their highly-anticipated sophomore LP, “Blame My Ex,” set to drop on September 15. The Canadian rock hitmakers have delivered a belt-along crowd-pleaser that speaks to anyone battling the incessant insecurities and ‘what-ifs’ that haunt their minds.

The song kicks off with a captivating strumming of guitars by Kylie Miller and Leandra Earl, setting a tone of restrained tension that gradually builds to an explosive chorus. At its core, “What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Paranoid” delves into the challenges of grappling with self-doubt within relationships. Lead vocalist, Jordan Miller, puts a twist on the classic saying ‘what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,’ as she candidly belts out, “what doesn’t kill you makes you paranoid / what doesn’t kill you makes you feel like your love ain’t s***.”

In essence, the track is a poignant exploration of the intense anxiety that often follows a breakup, an emotional rollercoaster that many can relate to.

What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Paranoid” follows in the footsteps of previous singles like “Me & Me,” an energetic beach-rock anthem that has received praise for its contribution to the rock ‘n’ roll scene. Meanwhile, “Blame Brett” has become a fan favorite with nearly 10 million streams on Spotify alone, further solidifying the Beaches’ place in the music world. Their track “Everything is Boring” is also worth mentioning; it serves as an anthemic callout to the cynics among us.

If that’s not exciting enough, the quartet is set to embark on a headlining North American tour in early September, promoting the upcoming LP and Fresh from the festival circuit, including a standout performance at Lollapalooza, they’re eager to connect with fans across 25 shows in Canada and the United States. Unfortunately, there won’t be a Newfoundland show this time, as they graced the island’s this summer for Iceberg Alley.

In conclusion, “What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Paranoid” is not only a testament to The Beaches’ musical prowess but also a candid exploration of post-breakup anxieties. With their growing list of successful releases and an eagerly awaited LP on the horizon, The Beaches are poised for even greater heights in the world of rock music. So, keep an eye out for “Blame My Ex” and get ready to embrace the evocative soundscapes this talented quartet has in store.
