Northern Pikes

Truest Inspiration

BY Roman SokalPublished Mar 1, 2001

Apparently, this Saskatoon-based band garnered a good deal of success within this country, starting in the '80s through to the early '90s, until they ceased to exist as a unit. During the compiling process of their 1999 released greatest hits package, entitled Hits and Assorted Secrets 1984-1993, the band mused themselves with the idea of giving it the old college try by reforming to create a new album. The result, an updated version of what once was. Add in some nouveau electronic stitches underneath their patriotic sense of wellbeing and playfulness and you, the expectant fan of unornamented Canadian rock, will be fed with a mature and acceptable compact disc to get you through your day at the office.
