It goes like this: millions of records, a couple dozen hits, a Juno Award for Band of the Year, and ongoing sold-out shows across Canada. Universal Music acknowledges them as "one of Canada's top five selling bands of all time" and the Vancouver Sun has called them "Canadian rock heroes of the first order … the best performing band in Canada". In 2023 they were inducted into both the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and Canada's Walk of Fame.

Then, as now, what makes Trooper what they are is great performances and great pop songwriting.

Trooper's ten studio albums have earned multiple gold and platinum awards and their 6 X Platinum greatest hits, Hot Shots, continues to be one of Universal Music Canada's best selling catalog CDs and one of the country's most enduring party soundtracks. In celebration of the band's 35th anniversary, a totally updated and re-mastered collection - "Hits From 10 Albums" - was released, featuring songs spanning the entirety of their recording career. John Kereiff, writing in Gonzo Magazine, dubbed the collection "THE summer album of 2010."

"We're Here for a Good Time (Not a Long Time)", "Raise a Little Hell", "The Boys in the Bright White Sportscar", "Two For the Show", "Pretty Lady" "Good Ol' General Hand Grenade", "Round, Round We Go", "Santa Maria", "Janine" - just a few of the Trooper hits that, according to writer Ryan Sparks, "have woven their way into the fabric of this country like no other bands have been able to do. Tune into any radio station from Vancouver to St John's and you're bound to encounter one of their dozen hit radio anthems that are still featured in heavy rotation to this day."

Dan Brisbois of canadianbands.com writes, "They've won practically every Canadian music award possible and they've been dubbed 'Canada's Greatest Party Band' … and rightfully so." Bob Mersereau, author of The Top 100 Canadian Albums wrote, "Trooper's Hot Shots has been one of the biggest-selling albums in Canadian music history. It has gone six times platinum, and sells consistently, as do tickets to Trooper gigs. There are shows and festivals across the country where the annual Trooper show is practically an official holiday." Indeed, Trooper continues to consistently sell out shows across the country - often performing for three generations of fans - demonstrating that the band and its music remain borderless, timeless, and ageless.

It's no exaggeration to say that Trooper has become a Canadian legend. They continue to perform their huge collection of hits with the vitality and sense of humor that has served them well on their steady march through the hills and valleys of Canadian Rock and Roll.

Twenty-five years after The Fallout launched Default into the forefront of Canadian rock, the band is marking the milestone with a celebratory run of Western Canadian and Ontario tour dates and special 25th Anniversary Edition vinyl and CD releases. Special guests Wide Mouth Mason and Limblifter will join Default on select dates throughout the tour.

Originally released in 2001, The Fallout became one of Canada’s most successful rock records of the era, launching the band’s career with hit singles including the Billboard Mainstream Rock hit “Wasting My Time,” which helped establish the band’s U.S. profile, “Deny,” and “Slow Me Down.” Twenty-five years later, Default will hit the road to perform songs from the landmark album alongside fan favorites from throughout their catalogue.

“It’s hard to believe it’s been 25 years since we released The Fallout,” says Default frontman Dallas Smith. “Those songs changed our lives and opened doors we never could have imagined. We’re incredibly grateful to the fans who have supported this band from the beginning, and we’re excited to celebrate this milestone by getting back on stage and playing these songs together again. The Fallout will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we can’t wait to share these shows with everyone.”

About Triumph:

Formed in Mississauga in 1975, Triumph - Rik Emmett (guitar, vocals), Mike Levine (bass, keyboards), and Gil Moore (drums, vocals), rose from playing high school auditoriums and rock n’ roll bars to selling out iconic arenas, from Toronto’s famed Maple Leaf Gardens to Reunion Arena in Dallas, Texas. Their virtuosic musicianship, soaring vocals, and dazzling, high-production live shows helped define an era of arena rock.

From local Ontario venues to sold-out arenas around the globe, Triumph achieved international acclaim through headline tours and iconic festival performances, including the 1983 US Festival before 500,000 fans, the Texas World Music Festival, The World Series of Rock, and Day on the Green. Their hits - “Lay It on the Line,” “Magic Power,” and “Fight the Good Fight” - combined with pioneering stage productions featuring pyrotechnics, laser lighting, and theatrical flair, helped define arena rock.

Selling over 15 million albums worldwide with multiple gold and platinum certifications, Triumph has been inducted into the Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame (2007), the Canadian Music Hall of Fame (2008), Canada’s Walk of Fame (2019), and the Canadian Songwriter’s Hall of Fame (2025).

With the Triumph 50th Anniversary Tour and the 2025 Magic Power: All-Star Tribute to Triumph, the band celebrates a legacy that grows stronger with every decade - proof that Triumph’s journey from Ontario stages to global acclaim is a true rock & roll success story.
