 Ottawa band The Balconies’ debut self-titled release is garnering this indie band some well-deserved attention.
The brother, sister, boyfriend trio (composed of Jacquie Neville, Liam Jaeger, and Jacquie’s brother Steve Neville) delivers on their new album. It’s catchy in a good way—well-written lyrics and powerful vocals give The Balconies a high-energy vibe that seeps its way into their live performances.
That’s not to say it’s all rock and roll for The Balconies. They slow things down on such tracks as “The Slo,” “Lulu,” and “Skinny Dipper.”
The album gets things moving again with “Rest Up,” their vocals flying in an unruly symphony sure to get you out of your seat.
The band has previously shared the stage with such acts as Land of Talk, The Bicycles, Young Rival, and Mother Mother, among others.
