Barenaked Ladies — Talk To The Hand: Live In Michigan

in
By Shannon Whibbs (CHARTattack) November 21, 2008 1:03 pm
Considering the length of their career, it's hard to believe this is the first BNL concert officially captured on film. Better late than never, this DVD ably captures the upbeat vibe of a show by Canada's favourite nerd-rockers — albeit playing to a crowd of cheerful, apple-cheeked American suburbanites. However, it's a colourful, lively...

Barenaked Ladies — Snacktime

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) May 6, 2008 5:02 pm
The Barenaked Ladies know that kids entertainment can also amuse grown-ups, and showcase this idea on Snacktime, their children's album. Opener "7 8 9" is both an interesting counting lesson and a hilarious wordplay exercise. Likewise with "Raisins," which features educational and funny lyrics like "Raisins come from...

Barenaked Ladies — Barenaked Ladies Are Me

in
By Shannon Whibbs (CHARTattack) September 19, 2006 9:43 am
Still great popsmiths after all these years, Barenaked Ladies have come back with a strong record after taking a few years off following 2003's Everything To Everyone. Opening track "Adrift," a gentle, meandering number by Ed Robertson, nudges the door open for the driving single "Easy" and "Maybe You're Right," which...

The Vanity Project — The Vanity Project

While some of his Barenaked brethren have already ventured into the solo realm, The Vanity Project is a first for BNL frontman Steven Page. This self-titled disc finds Page paired with long-time collaborator and songwriting partner Stephen Duffy (of Tin Tin and Lilac Time.) Some highlights include the BNL-style ballad "Glitterbug" and...

Barenaked Ladies — Barenaked For The Holidays

in
By David McDougall (CHARTattack) October 5, 2004 10:02 am
Barenaked For The Holidays kicks off with a mournful rendition of "Jingle Bells" and you can’t help but want to give Steven Page a hug. The modern Christmas pop song is hard to pull off and at 20 tracks, the disc stumbles at times. There’s the overly sentimental "Hannukah Blessings" and "Snowman" (featuring the creepy...

Barenaked Ladies — Everything To Everyone

in
By Erik Missio (CHARTattack) October 21, 2003 10:26 am
Most non-U.S. pop bands boasting intelligent lyrics, strong harmonies, seasoned musicianship, witty couplets and a wide range of style (say, from alt.folk to three-chord rock to strings and synths) are ignored by the People and praised by the Critics. So why does BNL elicit the reverse reaction? Whatever: this is a good album with some great...

Barenaked Ladies — Maroon

in
By Shayne Stephens (CHARTattack) September 12, 2000 3:08 pm
To be disgustingly honest, a few years ago I would have rather sawed off my left nut than listen to a Barenaked Ladies album. I can admit there's been a few times, immediately prior to or during copulation, when I've let their stereo presence slide, but to genuinely enjoy the music, I don't think so. My conclusion of Maroon, you ask? After weeks...

It's not every day you pick up Bono hitchhiking, like Edmonton Oiler right winger Gilbert Brule did. Kittie are touring the U.S. this summer. Appropriately, their website still looks like it's from 2001. Edmonton singer/songwriter Eamon McGrath is taking his tunes on the road this summer.

When bassist Carlos D left Interpol, it was looked at as an amicable split. But now singer/guitarist Paul Banks has called him an "a-hole." But he doesn't mean it in a jerky way: he thinks Carlos is a "genius," and says he's willing to put up with a lot of shit from people he considers to be brilliant. —Undercover Neko Case is raffling the muscle...

Barenaked Ladies — All In Good Time

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) April 1, 2010 4:17 pm
All In Good Time is the first Barenaked Ladies album without Steven Page, who left the band last year following a summer with a cocaine bust (for which he eventually got off). From the sound of things, BNL perhaps didn't quite know what to do after one of their founding members and co-frontmen left the band because All In Good Time is truly all...

Barenaked Ladies' Ed Robertson Has A Future In Creating Television Shows

By Jared Morano (CHARTattack) March 26, 2010 4:25 pm
Two years ago, the Barenaked Ladies' 20th anniversary was marred by the sudden arrest of then co-frontman Steven Page for cocaine possession. That might have been business as usual for any other band, but the Barenaked Ladies aren't down-and-dirty rockstars. They record children's albums and perform at Disney events. They're in that lucrative...

Time's been suspended in the video for Barenaked Ladies' "You Run Away," their first single without Steven Page, but somehow certain people find themselves in ridiculous poses in each subsequent frame. Um, I know from experience that being hit by a car is not very much fun. "You Run Away" appears on All In Good Time, which is...
