Alvvays

After winning the Juno for Alternative Album of the Year in 2018, Toronto band Alvvays continued their rise in a style that is best described as a new wave of indie-rock with shoegaze accents. Situated somewhere between Beach House and Best Coast, this five-piece band blurs the lines with a feel for pop that gets better with every new album. Their most recent release, Blue Rev, did so well that it found itself on the 2022 best album lists of popular music magazines like Pitchfork and Brooklyn Vegan.
