Drum Sheet – The Beaches – Blame Brett

“Blame Brett” by The Beaches is a lively rock song from their album Blame My Ex, released in 2023. The song was born out of the band’s desire to explore themes of independence and self-realization after a breakup. The protagonist in the song decides to take control of her love life by dating actors instead of musicians, shifting the blame for her actions to an ex-boyfriend named Brett. The lyrics humorously depict a persona who unapologetically embraces being the “bad girl” and prioritizes her own desires over conventional expectations.

The composition of “Blame Brett” reflects The Beaches‘ knack for blending catchy melodies with sharp, witty lyrics. The song features driving drums and energetic guitar riffs, which contribute to its upbeat and rebellious vibe. The band members, particularly drummer Eliza Enman-McDaniel, bring a vibrant energy to the track, making it a favorite for fans of dynamic drumming.

Since its release, “Blame Brett” has been performed live at various notable venues and events. The Beaches delivered standout performances on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, at the 2024 Juno Awards, and during their Blame My Ex tour, which included stops at venues like the Howard Theatre in Washington, D.C., and the Bluestone in Columbus, Ohio. Their live shows have been praised for their high-energy and engaging stage presence, making “Blame Brett” a highlight in their setlists.
