Back when summer 2016 was still filled with hope, anticipation and possibility - when the sun was still inching its way closer and closer to the Tropic of Cancer, before months beginning with J or even A were on anyone's mind - CBC Music put on a festival in Toronto.
The Toronto based band with Maritime roots hit the stage in the late afternoon, basking in the welcoming late-May sunshine and delivering a solid set of tunes that kept the audience swaying and singing along to the infectious indie pop. CBC Music has those performances for you today.

[@fairytalles]

Fair 😂

[@blackbird5634]

LUCKY neighbors!!

[@fairytalles]

Archie, dude, marry this woman immediately

[@i_want_a_day]

Ikr

[@archiecolangoy1005]

I can't. Got a spouse now

[@mikekaufmann5311]

One of the best hooks I've heard in 50 years of hungrily swallowing hooks.

[@michaelv2304]

This comment was weirdly wonderful

[@abesapien9930]

My god, that comment is great.

[@theempire00]

Nah bro

[@chrisg5712]

thanks, you made me laugh today, been feeling down, thanks for real

[@johnnewman2490]

@mikekaufmann5311 Any others this good that I mightn’t know?

[@julieoh8617]

CROWD IS SO DED I WOILDVE BEEN SINGING MY HEART OUT

[@srushtiapadival]

i was thinking the same thing. I have been listening to this song on repeat for a week, manic mode. This is NOT the reaction i was expecting from a live audience

[@Ihyabond009]

See Alvvays at We The Fest, the crowd sings together (it's on youtube)

[@SrXuacu]

Literally I was thinking the same... What's their problem?!

[@ianthomas2289]

They don't call it "shoe gaze" fer nuthin

[@amargaobrera]

Just they are canadians XD

[@DeWaalz]

It takes a powerful voice to carry a verse with nothing but a droning bent note in the background! Beautiful song!

[@sterlingarcher6362]

Dude never heard any sonic youth song

[@i_want_a_day]

Radiohead: lol

[@atrainradio929]

This song will stand the test of time, easily. A brilliantly catchy pop rock tune with a ridiculously strong hook. Will be a staple of rock for decades to come.

[@SuperUrsusmaritimus]

we need more songs about sailing out on the Atlantic. relatively too many about the Pacific.

[@radradradradradrad]

Have you heard the song Atlantis by Donovan?

[@ajhhc]

Another one could be Honey Pie by the Beatles.

[@radradradradradrad]

@@ajhhc How's that have something to do with Atlantic?

[@ajhhc]

@@radradradradradrad it has a line where the singer asks Honey Pie to "sail across the Atlantic"

[@radradradradradrad]

@@ajhhc oh sorry i thought u said Wild Honey Pie

[@sophieghaffari9006]

She sounds just the same live as she does when you buy the song! Love that!

[@sliverbox271991]

or when you download it for free via unethical methods! Love that!

My 7 year old daughters favorite song! (Yeah, I know she has awesome taste!) It will always hold a special place in my heart!

[@cbcmusic]

She does indeed!

[@dieseldelaqua]

It alvvays should

[@irisink]

Not like my nephew whose favourite is by Marc Anthony 😵🤢

[@martinalexander4777]

Optimism in rock, we need more of that, this one always puts a smile on my face

[@vincenzo6162]

How does the band sound so damn good ? Everything just goes well

[@stanleykubrickk]

Very very good sound engineer

[@sulladrum]

I'm 63, and I love this song. It has an amazing hook

[@mikekaufmann5311]

62 here and I am with you. Cannot believe, honestly, how superb this song is, and many, many of their others. Ridiculously underrated indiepop genius, easily on a level of Smiths, Oasis, MBV, whoever you care to stack up against them. And I have more affection for Alvvays' songs than ANY of the aforementioned.

[@garyives1218]

old and can't wait to see them in a couple weeks........loved em for years

[@arthelemeprovenzano]

We all want to be Archie.

[@radradradradradrad]

I love the way Molly sings the song here.

[@richardphillips6392]

yessssssss. coolest guitarist in the universe

[@aptafaqqi2784]

You've expressed explicitly your contempt for matrimony You've student loans to pay and will not risk the alimony We spend our days locked in a room, content inside a bubble And in the nighttime we go out and scour the streets for trouble Hey, hey Marry me, Archie Hey, hey Marry me, Archie During the summer, take me sailing out on the Atlantic I won't set my sights on other seas, there is no need to panic So, honey, take me by the hand and we can sign some papers Forget the invitations, floral arrangements and bread makers Hey, hey Marry me, Archie Hey, hey Marry me, Archie Too late to go out Too young to stay in They're talking about Us living in sin Hey, hey Marry me, Archie Hey, hey Marry me, Archie Hey, hey Marry me Archie Hey, hey A-R-C-H-I-E Yeah

[@grassymolassy]

"We spend our days locked in a room, content inside a bubble" I know this was released way before the pandemic, but I just recently found it. This line reminds me of hanging out with my sisters during the lockdown.

[@monoverde88]

Zeb Ross is killing it with the drums. Great dancer, even better drummer.

[@cuckusmaximus3011]

okay her voice is actually so good

[@ChekyCasuals]

Hey.. Hey.. Marry me Molly 😄

[@panduwidagdo7051]

Senja Serayu ya ampun. Kirain cuma saya orang Indonesia yang pengen nikah sama Molly.

[@taylortimeless]

Me in HS because I had a crush named Molly 😂

[@GrimaLacrimarium777]

Same hahahaha

[@neelsdebruyn8914]

Brilliant hope she said yes!

[@det.caribou7405]

Damn she sounds amazing live

[@jonathanmills9339]

From and 80's / 90's indie kid....awesome. love this band

[@MrBlahdiblahdi]

I vaguely remember how cool it is to go to festivals like this, and hear cool new bands like this

[@cbcmusic]

Hold onto that memory! We won't be hunkered down forever - and there's gonna be a lot of bands wanting/needing to play a lot of festivals when we emerge from our socially distanced spaces!

[@alecwilliams2028]

This band sounds so cool with the addition of those acoustic drums holy smokes

[@cbcmusic]

Glad you're enjoying it!

[@weho_brian]

this song, makes my heart melt, dude

[@bdomflo]

How I’m I finding this song out on 2023, brilliant.

[@DeadFlowers69]

Same.

[@colh2726]

Once in a while you hear a song that makes you happy and smile. Thanks Molly and Co, we all need that smile nowadays. Regards to you all...

[@michaelc.1710]

I've just discovered this song. I love it. Takes me back to being 19 and in love

[@scottfreeland3242]

First things first - Sheridan carries so much weight in Alvvays. I admire her ability to just stay on beat, it is a most Bonham-Starr quality. But, I can't not admit that this drummer, Phil MacIsaac , nailed this perfoance. He straight up shredded 2:42. This performance goes bananas. & I love the end - Molly went straight DeMarco on 'em 3:14. YUP!

[@christiancullip4561]

She’s amazing

[@RonniReMIX]

Really... Cool, This is such a Smiths-Type song! GREAT VIBE!!!

[@MikeBoni]

My god, I love this band so much.

[@mintendo3ds]

i listen this song over and over again.her voice and band sound is awesome.

[@TheBluenoserboy]

Best jangle-pop since the 90s!

[@rimbaud0000]

What a superb song

Brilliant song and get a move on Archie - commit damn it Fantastic and sounds wonderful live

[@AaronClow]

This mix is so good.

[@boyblue3232]

Molly is amazing and this band is amazing!!

[@kg7219]

my most played spotify song of this year.. helped me come to terms with a breakup i had where she wanted to get married and i didnt.. we were together for 8 years and i made it clear from the start i never wanted to get married... we broke up cuz of that... this song finally helped me to understand what she must have felt like and all i want is to be able to call her and let her kno i finally get it but she blocked me on everything so now all ive got is this song.

[@ncave7147]

And a guest appearance by Satan on guitar 1:10-1:26.Just effing brilliant; and of course it's not caught on camera.

[@cwbellor]

1:43 All three of those guys are great.

[@JohnBGood-ry9wj]

This band needs to tour again!!!!!

[@iheartquestionmark5171]

Probably my all time favorite song

[@mikekaufmann5311]

Right? Mine too. Something absolutely magic about it. The way her "Hey, hey" arches over the arrangement is perfection. I don't know how anyone can hear it and not be smitten. And yet they have a boatload of other songs just as incredible.

[@viruzz207]

Life when there was no corona virus

[@kaleb.carvalho]

Exactly that 😂

Doesn't apply to everyone, i wish i still can stay home without school

Love the Guy singing along at 1:49, now that is gig bliss. Such a lovely thing, wish you could bottle it :)

Molly alvvays looks so upset when she's singing live.

Probably cause none of the idiots are moving/dancing like they should be hahah

Yes

[@instabeef8370]

The guitar solos on this are so strung out and almost lazy or maybe exhausted. They wail with as much longing as the lyrics. That sound is amazing
