The song, produced by **Chris Szcezech (Goo Goo Dolls)**, finds The Aquadolls dipping
into their nostalgic roots, for a 60s meets 90s dream pop self-love song.

“Beachy” tackles the hardships of coming out of a global pandemic and quarantine.
Front woman **Melissa Brooks** says the song, _“takes the listener on a trip to 
the California sunshine with reverb-y guitar and saccharine vocals. While alone 
at home, we are left with the thoughts of missing those we are far apart from, but
realize that self-love is key to making it through these hard times.”_

“Beachy” serves as the lead single to the band’s upcoming ‘Charmed’ LP. Watch for
the music video to debut online soon.

In the meantime, the band’s latest single titled **“Help (I’m Falling 4U and I Can’t
Get Up)” is out now.**

**About the Aquadolls:** 
When Melissa Brooks formed the Aquadolls 10 years ago,
it served as an outlet for her to channel her angst. In high school, she was bullied
by her peers, and music served as a therapeutic way to express herself in a positive
way. Though she initially aspired to be the next Lady Gaga, Brooks found her way
into rock music for outsiders.

Following the formation of the bedroom project, Brooks — who serves as the band’s
primary singer, songwriter and guitarist — released the ‘Free’ EP in 2012 and her
debut album, ‘Stoked on You’ in 2013. After cycling through musicians, Brooks joined
forces with bassist Keilah Nina and drummer Jacqueline Proctor and things fell into
place. The trio released their sophomore album, ‘The Dream and Deception,’ in 2018.

Once their current lineup solidified around the release of ‘The Dream and Deception’,
the Aquadolls made serious moves. They’ve performed with artists including **Kate
Nash, Pennywise** and **Jimmy Eat World**, and have featured on major festival lineups
like **Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, Warped Tour** and a pair of appearances
at Eddie Vedder’s **Ohana Festival.**

The Los Angeles-based band have been spending the summer on the road with **Incubus**
and **Sublime with Rome**. Bigger things yet are looming large in the foreseeable
future.

The Aquadolls’ third album, ‘Charmed’ (which is named after the popular ‘90s/‘00s
TV show), is a natural progression for their discography. Don’t let the relatable
tales focused on love and relationships, heartbreak and longing for more fool you,
the Aquadolls still are about having fun and showcasing humor in their lyrics. ‘
Charmed’ charts the growth in the Aquadolls’ sound, fusing elements of melodic ‘
60s harmonies and ‘90s-driven crunchiness with a modern twist that ushered in a 
new era for them, and it serves as a strong representation of what they want to 
do.

For the first time on an album (after punk legend **Fat Mike** produced their three
previous singles), the trio relied on an outside producer. **Chris Szczech’s (Goo
Goo Dolls)** Zen-like figure brought a calmness to the trio as they knocked out 
each song.

The Aquadolls were in the studio on-and-off since the release of ‘The Dream and 
Deception.’ The care and meticulous crafting of lyrics and music works seamlessly.
What started off as Brooks’ bedroom demos and loose ideas turned into nine songs.‘
Charmed’ is also the first time that the trio wrote as a unit, allowing the tracks
to blossom in the studio before transforming into fully fleshed-out songs that ended
up on the album.

‘Charmed’s’ first single, “Beachy,” is a prime example of the band’s songwriting
growth. Starting off as various guitar and drum loops with incoherent lyrics, “Beachy”
emerged as a powerhouse, vibe-y, reverb-drenched, twinkle of nostalgia tale that
rejects longing for someone and focuses on loving yourself first. “Sneaky,” another
highlight, looks at the angst surrounding the uncertainty of a relationship combined
with a sound that channels the Breeders and Veruca Salt.

Even as the current edition of the Aquadolls continues to evolve, their signature
sound as a guitar-driven band remains the same. Armed with a continued desire to
promote their message of self-love and positivity, ‘Charmed’ is the perfect step
forward. Combining a cohesive sound with this message, the Aquadolls are comfortable
growing up with their audience — who view things through never perfect, Vaseline-
tinged view of the world.

**What others are saying about the Aquadolls:**
_“Coming from the suburbs of Los
Angeles, the Aquadolls are punk pioneers in the broadest sense. They ooze eclecticism,
stacking elements of indie– and surf-rock on top of a distinctly pop-punk foundation.
While their sound might not exist at a comfortable spot for genre purists, fans 
of sonic experimentation will surely find their versatility entrancing.”- _**_Alternative
Press_**

_“… exudes an undeniable attitude…”- _**_New Noise Magazine_**

_“The Aquadolls exude a positively energetic, and powerfully confident vibe. A mix
of influences and life experiences between this trio, makes for their inspiringly
eclectic, powerful punk rock n roll music.”- _**_Wall Of Sound_**

_“If there was a missing link between 60s girl groups, California surf-pop, 90s 
skater rock and Taylor Swift’s assertive pop-sassiness it might be this lo-fi band
helmed by singer-guitarist Melissa Brooks from Southern California.”- _**_New Zealand
Herald_**

_“In line with other historical all-female bands such as Bikini Kill.”- _**_The 
BC Heights_**

_“If you were looking for a new mood-booster, this is it.”- _**_Riff Magazine_**

_“The Aquadolls are a So-Cal trio primed to blast off. Featuring surf-rock vibes
alongside pop-punk vocals, these witty women excel at blending genres and garnering
attention they rightfully deserve.”- _**_Idobi Radio_**

_“…fuzzy surf-psych-grunge pop from Southern California with an ebullient sing-a-
long vibe.things are on the up-and-up for this cool crew.”- **\*Oh My Rockness\***_

_“The Southern California band effortlessly pours out infectious shoegazey bops,
earnest headbangers, cosmic surf-punk ballads, and electrified power-pop anthems.
Despite the sheer range of styles and genres reflected in their music, there’s a
real cohesion to The Aquadolls’ addicting combination of sharp edges and even keel.
No matter what vibe a given song has, it’s clear The Aquadolls are putting everything
they have into the music they’re making.”- _**_Hard Noise_**

_“This is a rock band composed of women unafraid to unhinge their music from easy
listening, a powerfulness laced with irony and sarcasm and sweltering feeling in
all of their songs.”- _**_Lithium Magazine_**

_“The group has continued to push themselves creatively in new directions with each
release.”- _**_All The Alt Things_**

_“The Aquadolls have managed to piece together an anthem-in-waiting. Powered by 
woozy chords and a hazy soundscape set atop delicate but resonating vocals, ‘Disappearing
Girl’ feels as though it’s been delivered to us fresh from (a) distant dream. Fingers
crossed that world domination is part of their plan.”- _**_Blunt Mag_**

_” A shimmering piece of indie rock, “Disappearing Girl” is built on fizzling layers
of percussions as The Aquadolls toy with the raw elements garage and chest-swelling
air of dream rock.”- _**_Aupium_**

_“A punk rock power ballad doesn’t sound like it could be possible, but The Aquadolls
somehow pull off the impossible.”- _**_If It’s Too Loud_**

_“…energetic and infectious. They’re better than caffeine.”- _**_Illinois Entertainer_**
