Formed in 1988 in Scarborough, Ontario, Barenaked Ladies initially attracted a lot of attention with the originality of their name.
After the shock of the name passed, the group’s catchy songs spoke for themselves. Looking back, it’s no surprise that the band, founded by Steven Page and Ed Robertson, is still rocking on 22 years later. The Barenaked Ladies are about to release their 11th studio album on March 30.
"This is a really important record for us and we’re really proud of it," said Robertson. "We’re redefining who we are, and how we communicate as a band, and as friends. The album has an emotional rawness to it that we may have shied away from in the past. I think we pushed ourselves to heavier places, and also allowed for some really spacious moments. We can’t wait to play these songs live."
The next album from Barenaked Ladies, entitled All In Good Time, will be the group’s first release sinceBarenaked Ladies Are Me, from 2006. The new album’s first single, You Run Away, hits the airwaves later this month.
