About

Dilly Dally, an alternative rock band from Toronto, Ontario, was formed in 2009 by childhood friends Enda Monks and Liz Ball. Drawing inspiration from bands like the Pixies and the Strokes, Monks and Ball, both self-taught guitarists, developed a sound characterized by distinctive guitar tones and Monks’ raspy vocals. After performing in Toronto’s alternative and punk scenes with various rhythm sections, Benjamin Reinhartz (drums) and Annie Jane Marie (bass) joined in 2013, solidifying the band’s lineup. This period saw the self-release of their first single, “Next Gold” (2013), and the 7″ single “Candy Mountain” (2014) through Buzz Records (Canada) and Fat Possum Records (United States), which caught the attention of online music journals like Pitchfork and Noisy.

The band’s debut full-length album, “Sore,” was released in 2015 via Buzz Records and Partisan Records. “Sore” earned critical acclaim, being longlisted for the 2016 Polaris Music Prize and nominated for Alternative Album of the Year at the 2017 Juno Awards. The single “Desire” was a SOCAN Songwriting Prize finalist in 2016, and its video for “Snakehead” was long-listed for the Prism Prize in 2017. The intense touring schedule following “Sore’s” success nearly led to the band’s disbandment, prompting a mental health break. They re-emerged in 2017 with a renewed focus.

Their second album, “Heaven,” released in 2018 through Dine Alone Records and Partisan Records, addressed themes of marijuana use, queerness, depression, and substance abuse. Produced by Rob Schnapf in Los Angeles, “Heaven” was longlisted for the 2019 Polaris Music Prize, with the song “Bad Biology” becoming a finalist for the SOCAN Songwriting Prize the same year. Dilly Dally continued to tour, including opening for My Chemical Romance in 2022. On March 2, 2023, the band announced their breakup, releasing their final singles, “Colour of Joy” and “Morning Light,” and performing their last concerts at Lee’s Palace in Toronto.
