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.

“Astutely crafted and slyly hooky pop-rock tunes that one could easily imagine brightening up the playlists of more open-minded mainstream radio outlets” - (Toronto Star)

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!)

2020 sees The Nursery teaming up with Michael Fong (Electric Youth, Wintersleep, Scott Helman) and Nick Boyd (Dizzy, Hollerado, Royal Mountain) to produce their new album, Candy + Gloom. Their sophomore release is poised to generate significant momentum cementing the next chapter The Nursery’s exciting story.

With an anthemic and boisterous sound, Toronto’s The Nursery is well on the path to being Canada’s next great breakthrough band. Digital Ashes is fantastic songwriting that is simultaneously dark, hypnotic, and euphoric" - (The Revue)

"The bigger and shinier the sprawling pop songcraft, the better on the Toronto(-ish) trio's debut album, *Life After Wartime*. From glam and New Wave to such varied fellow pop maximalists as Queen, ELO and the Arcade Fire in 10 go-for-it tracks." -Ben Rayner, The Toronto Star

The Nursery-alex pulec.jpg — INTERVIEW WITH ALEX PULEC ON THE NURSERY'S UNIQUE SOUND

"The three-piece draw on, well pretty well everything thats gone before them - some New Pornographers, some Breeders, a little Pet Shop Boys, Bowie, Strange Advance, punk, pop, new wave, its a pop stew but its not a game of spot-the-influence. Rather the album just seems to be a confluence of curiosities." -SLOWCITY
