It's no longer just Gen Z kids with terrifying fashion takes dominating TikTok. In fact, there are plenty of Canadian artists flooding the app to share all kinds of treats. Among them is now the Tragically Hip, who have launched their own official TikTok page today.
"The Tragically Hip is happy to announce the beginning of our new TikTok endeavour. All of us are excited to join a platform where we can engage with all of you, as well as a new generation of TTH fans," the band said in an official statement.
"We'll be sharing exclusive clips from our vaults and curating our favourite content from fans who cover, dance, and sing along to our tracks," they added. "Our hope is that TikTok can be a place to celebrate music and connect with fans — both old and new."
The band can now be followed at @TheHipOfficial, where they've already posted two videos. The first is an archival clip from MuchMusic:
The second, more excitingly, is a video of guitarist Rob Baker performing "Ahead by a Century" and inviting fans to duet, adding their own vocals in place of the late Gord Downie:
