The Nursery is a bold, dark and playful alternative rock trio with songs commenting on the intense emotions of youth, contrasting themes of fear, rebellion, obsession, desire and alienation.
Alex Pulec started his foray into music at the tender age of 8 writing and recording his first songs (and noisy experiments) using the family’s home karaoke machine. Its two tape decks and record functions were used to overdub and build songs with him recording every instrument he could get his hands on. Pulec started writing and performing his songs with The Nursery in 2014, right off the heels of splitting from his previous group. Sharper than ever his unique signature and identity began to take shape.
After bursting onto the scene with their breakout single “Everybody’s Famous” , The Nursery has earned song rotation and interviews on mainstream and independent radio stations in Canada, The United States and Mexico. Upon releasing their debut album Life After Wartime, The Nursery were awarded "Best Independent Rock/Pop Band In Canada" by Indie 88’s "Indie Awards" (2018). That same year the band was also awarded “Best Music Video" for Digital Ashes by the Toronto Independent Music Awards.
The Nursery's music has been licensed to Netflix syndicated shows (Schitt's Creek/Kim's Convenience), received brand sponsorships (Converse/Jim Beam) and earned glowing press on national news outlets (CBC, Toronto Star, Exclaim!, Flare, Chart Attack)
"A complex record that explores numerous themes, including the experience that comes with loss, as well as our society’s obsession with technology, fame, and nostalgia." - (Indie88)
Known for their explosive live performances, The Nursery have headlined three small tours across North America, played various festivals and supported artists like Still Corners, The Birthday Massacre, The Elwins, Dan Mangan, Day Wave, The Wooden Sky and a solo Gord Downie performance to name a few.
"Blurring the lines between post-punk, electro-pop and psychedelic rock." - (Exclaim!)

Their sophomore release is poised to generate significant momentum cementing the next chapter The Nursery’s exciting story.
