Critically acclaimed for over two decades, The Tragically Hip has been at the heart of the Canadian music scene, evoking a strong emotional connection between their music and their fans that remains unrivaled in this country. A five-piece group of friends including Robby Baker (guitar), Gordon Downie (vocals, guitar), Johnny Fay (drums), Paul Langlois (guitar) and Gord Sinclair (bass), who grew up in Kingston, Ontario, The Hip has achieved the enviable status of a band that enjoys both mass popularity with over 8 million albums sold worldwide, as well as peer recognition through 31 Juno Award Nominations and 11 wins.
The band's 12th studio album, We Are the Same, was released in April 2009 by Universal Music. The album was recorded and mixed by Bob Rock at the band's Bath House studio in Kingston, Vancouver and Maui. Among the 12 brand new tracks is the first single "Love Is A First."
