Alvvays is a five-piece band hailing from Toronto, Canada. The group was formed by Molly Rankin, Kerri MacLellan, and Alec O'Hanley. Shortly after their formation, Brian Murphy and Phil MacIssac joined as bassist and drummer respectively. After self-releasing an album, they caught the attention of Polyvinyl Records who signed them. In 2017, Sheridan Riley took over as the current drummer.
With their unique blend of indie pop and dreamy melodies, Alvvays has captivated audiences worldwide. Their music showcases Molly Rankin's mesmerizing vocals alongside the talents of Kerri MacLellan on keyboards and Alec O'Hanley on guitar. Brian Murphy's basslines provide a solid foundation while Sheridan Riley's drumming adds a dynamic energy to their sound.
Since their debut album release in 2014, Alvvays has gained critical acclaim for their infectious hooks and relatable lyrics. Their songs explore themes of love, nostalgia, and growing up in a way that resonates with listeners of all ages. With each new release, they continue to push boundaries and evolve their signature sound.

Alvvays are two women, three men, a crate of C-86 tapes and a love of jingle-jangle. Convening in Toronto, the group have been making music since since dusk or maybe dawn. As a result, their debut self-titled album is both sun-splashed and twilit. Recorded at Chad VanGaalen's Yoko Eno studio and mixed by Graham Walsh (Holy Fuck) and John Agnello (Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., Kurt Vile). The resultant album is loud and clear and sure. Flood your ears.
