““Of Montreal meets Arcade Fire meets Freak Pop.””
The Nursery are a vibrant 4-piece alternative pop band from Toronto. They weave hazy, neon-drenched atmospheres into irresistibly ear-worm worthy songs, at once hypnotic and euphoric. Lyrically spinning conversational quips that tap into the human condition, exploring life's contradictions while being pulled between pure joy and sheer dread. Founders Alex Pulec (guitar/voice) and Victor Ess (bass/keys), collaborated together extensively over the past decade under different monikers after meeting at a swap meet. Influenced by early electro, punk and UK glam rock records, Alex and Victor began writing songs under The Nursery in 2014 with the inclusion of synth player Jared Roth, and drummer Josh English.
““With an anthemic and boisterous sound, Toronto’s The Nursery is well on the path to being Canada’s next great indie-pop band. Fantastic.””
The Nursery released a debut EP, Digital Ashes, and toured Canada and the North-Eastern United States headlining their own shows and surprising audiences while supporting artists like Day Wave, Repartee, The Elwins and even a Gord Downie solo performance. Their character-laden, yet infectious singles have made their way through campus radio, SiriusXM and national FM stations (CBC Radio 3, Indie88).
““The Nursery has a truly special talent for exploring the human experience with an authentic bluntness.” ”
The Nursery was awarded Best Indie Band (2015) and Best Music Video (2016) at the Toronto Independent Music Awards for a self-produced video for their song "Digital Ashes". The song also appears in Season 1 of the CBC show Schitt's Creek. The Converse Shoe Company sponsored the band to record new music which will be included on their debut LP, Life After Wartime. Their new single "Everybody's Famous" from the forthcoming album sees the band setting the stage for a refreshing dose of intoxicating pop and rock & roll adventurism.
““Blurring the lines between post-punk, electro-pop and psychedelic rock.” ”
