The Tragically Hip were a huge piece of every Canadians heart. They were loved and endeared by most, if not all Canadians for a very long time.

Coming four years after the death of lead singer Gord Domnie, The Hip have announced a surprise new album. The new album, “Saskadelphia”, will consist of a six song Hip album that will make its way to the public tomorrow, May 21st, 2021.

The album will also include one live track, “Montreal (live from the Molson Center Dec 7, 200).

Songs included on Saskadelphia will consist of the following; “Crack My Spine Like a Whip”, “Just as well”, Reformed Baptist Blues”, “Ouch”, and finally ” Not Necessary”.

Guitarist Rob Barker was taken back when he had first heard “Ouch”, and had additional comments saying that they were a ” Pretty good little band”.

The original name that the band wanted to go with for this album was ” Road Apples”. This was ultimately shut down by the higher ups at the record label as Road Apples was an inside joke within the band that ultimately meant in the Music industry as ” Horse Sh*t.” The label initially loved the name Road Apples as they thought it was referring to songs that were written on the road, but ultimately wound up finding out that, that was not the case. the label didn’t take too kindly towards the meaning of Road Apples and ultimately “Saskadelphia” was then born. The songs on Saksadelphia had been left on the cutting room floor about thirty years ago in a box and were completely forgotten about until now.

You can pre order the album “Saskadelphia” right now as the album is set to drop tomorrow on May 21, 2021. Along with the album you can also order a ton of  Saskadelphia themed merchandise as that has also gone live as of this morning.
