Next Week's Washing

You didn’t know you needed them until you did. Next Week’s Washing merges shimmering shoegaze soundscapes with post-punk bite and ‘90s alternative styling into a magnetic wall of sound that avoids nostalgia, creating something new. Formed in 2024 by young Toronto musicians — Rhys Newman, brothers Miles and Julian Duffy, and later, Ben Sawyer and Evan de Castro – they deliver unforgettable tunes with powerful vocals and sublime guitar lines recalling Oasis and Slowdive, but in their own bold style. Their debut self-titled EP, recorded by Dylan Frankland of Tallies, was picked up for physical release by Sheffield label ForgeMaster Records. Named Kool Rock Radio’s band of the month for November 2025, they were subsequently added to Exclaim! Magazine’s “Class-Of 2026”. New material is scheduled for late 2026. Catch them as the tide is rising. This is only the beginning.
