One of Canada's most popular and influential indie rock bands, the Lowest of the Low play melodic, folk-leaning rock music with the passion and commitment of punk rock. The group's debut album, Shakespeare My Butt, would go on to become one of the best-selling indie albums in Canadian history. In 1994, the band dropped their second album, but it proved to be a commercial and critical disappointment, and by the end of the year, the Lowest of the Low had quietly broken up. Although the band had called it a day, interest in them continued, and they staged a reunion tour in 2000, followed by the albums Sordid Fiction (2004) and Do the Right Now (2017). ~ Mark Deming
