the Nursery

"Of Montreal meets Arcade Fire meets Freak Pop." (Drake Underground) “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 Revue) "The Nursery has a truly special talent for exploring the human experience with an authentic bluntness." (Nu World) "Blurring the lines between post-punk, electro-pop and psychedelic rock." (Exclaim!) “An indie dance explosion.” (Raz Mataz Magazine) The Nursery is a vibrant 3-piece band from Toronto who weave hazy, neon-drenched atmospheres into songs both hypnotic and full of driving energy. 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), have collaborated together extensively over the last 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 drummer Josh English. The Nursery took home 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 included on their debut LP, Life After Wartime. It's lead single "Everybody's Famous" sees the band setting the stage for a refreshing dose of intoxicating pop and rock & roll adventurism. Existential sing songs, candy & gloom.
