The Trews

Data updated on 2025-05-13 14:09:36 UTC

Since starting out in the late ‘90s in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, The Trews have garnered a reputation as one of Canada’s most dynamic rock bands. They’ve been lauded for their work in many ways. Among them: certified platinum album sales, multiple JUNO Award nominations, and ECMA and US Independent Music Award wins. They’ve racked up an impressive list of hits that have stood the test of time, including "Not Ready to Go," which hit #1 on Canadian rock radio and was the most played song of 2004. Additionally, their music has been streamed over 100,000,000 times globally, a testament to The Trews' lasting power and appeal. The Trews have also made significant inroads in the US and internationally as well - playing 1000s of shows across the globe over time, sharing the stage with the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Slash, Aerosmith, Weezer, The Rolling Stones, KISS, Robert Plant, and Guns N’ Roses, to name a few. Now based out of Hamilton, Ontario, The Trews remain one of Canada’s most prolific, enduring, and fiercest acts in the studio and on stage.
