“I think it’s a product of being four guys with very different influences and interests. Everyone kind of brings their viewpoint,” Robertson said.
When asked about their influences today, the band cited Canadian contemporaries like Metric, Feist, Broken Social Scene and Ron Sexsmith.
The Barenaked Ladies have sold over 15 million albums worldwide.
Grinning Streak will be their 11th studio album.
