Ontario five piece Amity Beach make joyous indie pop music destined to soundtrack gloriously messy parties around the world.
These are songs longing to be shouted back at the stereo, with a cold beer in one hand and that cute girl from math class tugging fervently on your wrist and heartstrings. Jake’s Version Of Paradise has to be the most ludicrously upbeat track of the year, one part Weezer, one part sugary sweet candyfloss. Oh, and did I mention, it has trumpets?!
Amity Beach are at their best when they just let it flow, such as on You’ll Never Hear That Sound, with it’s epic-pop roots, with lead singer Geoff Ballie proclaiming ‘all of the Pharaoh’s (?) that drowned in the river are waking up‘ with such delight that it’s impossible not to crack a smile.
Check out Jake’s Version Of Paradise below, and head over to their bandcamp to hear the rest of their self-titled debut EP.
