Alvvays
Alvvays is a Canadian indie rock band from Toronto.
History
Alvvays members Molly Rankin and Kerri MacLellan were childhood friends, who began playing music with Alec O'Hanley while in high school.[1] Rankin is the daughter of John Morris Rankin of The Rankin Family. Molly Rankin released a solo EP in 2010 and then formed Alvvays with MacLellan, O'Hanley, and new members Brian Murphy and Phil MacIsaac.
Following tours with The Pains of Being Pure at Heart and Peter Bjorn and John, the group recorded a full-length album, Alvvays, which was released by Polyvinyl Records in July 2014.[2] Chad VanGaalen, John Agnello, and Graham Walsh of Holy Fuck all contributed to the album's production.[3] Simon Vozick-Levinson, writing in Rolling Stone, called the eponymous album an "indie-pop wonder".[4]
