The Northern Pikes
The Northern Pikes are a legendary Canadian rock band formed in Saskatoon in 1984, known for timeless hits like “She Ain’t Pretty,” “Girl With a Problem,” and “Kiss Me You Fool.” With one platinum and four gold albums to their name, the band has left an indelible mark on Canadian music history. Their 2023 release, TIME to TIME, reimagines beloved tracks from their breakthrough album Snow in June with fresh acoustic arrangements, alongside three new songs that highlight their continued evolution. The band—Jay Semko, Bryan Potvin, Don Schmid, and Kevin Kane (formerly of The Grapes of Wrath)—brings together rich harmonies, textured instrumentation, and emotional depth. With nearly four decades of music-making behind them and a renewed creative spirit, The Northern Pikes remain as vital and adventurous as ever.
