The Garrys (band)
The Garrys are a Canadian indie rock band from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, consisting of sisters Erica, Julie and Lenore Maier.[1] They are most noted for their 2021 album Get Thee to a Nunnery, which was longlisted for the 2022 Polaris Music Prize.[2]
The band, who describe their sound as "garage surf doom-wop", was formed in 2015 as an acoustic duo consisting of Lenore and Erica Maier, before Julie joined the following year on bass and drums.[3] They released their first album, Warm Buds, in 2016,[4] and followed up with Surf Manitou in 2017.[5]
In 2020 they recorded a score for the 1922 silent film Haxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages.[1]
Get Thee to a Nunnery, the Garrys' fourth album, was produced by Dallas Good of The Sadies.[6] Cakewalk, their fifth album, and their first with brother Matthew on guitar, was released May 3, 2024.[7]
