The Northern Pikes are one of a handful of acts that have a permanent footprint on the psyche of generations of Canadian rock and pop fans.

Since first forming in Saskatoon in 1984, the group has had one platinum album with 1990s (Snow in June), four gold LPs and eight hit singles that remain mainstays across the country.

Their latest album, Time to Time, was released on June 9, 2023. It finds the band taking a step back to reflect on and revisit the best-loved tracks from Snow in June.

The Pikes have stripped the songs down to their essentials and created fresh acoustic arrangements of Dream Away, Love These Hands, Kiss Me You Fool, She Ain’t Pretty, Green Fields, Girl With a Problem and the title track.

All of the tunes feature The Pikes’ core trademarks, including gorgeous vocal harmonies, pulsing basslines, lush and piercing guitar, and kinetic, creative drumming.

The band’s lineup includes vocalist and bassist Jay Semko, vocalist and lead guitarist Bryan Potvin, and drummer Don Schmid, who’ve been together as a working unit, on and off, since 1986.

It also features vocalist and guitarist Kevin Kane, co-founder of the iconic Grapes of Wrath, who joined as a full-time member in 2017.
