The origin of the CRASH TEST DUMMIESis tied to the Winnipeg nightspots, the Spectrum Cabaret and the Blue Note Café. The band began its rise to success with the debut album “The Ghosts that Haunt Me” (1991), due in large part, to the popularity of the hit single “Superman's Song”, which appeared on the RPM Top Singles chart and earned the band the Juno Award for Group of the Year(1992). In addition to the win they were nominated for seven other Juno Awards between 1992 and 1996. After touring the world for their last album eight years ago, CRASH TEST DUMMIESagreed they were done. “Everyone was ready to move on in their lives.” Recently, however, Roberts has penned some of his most provocative lyrics ever. “I sat down one night after having written nothing in literally years, and out came a verse--of sorts. I was rusty! But I stuck with it for a few more days, until I managed to make it to say what I wanted to say. Things grew organically from there. And here we are again!” For more about CRASH TEST DUMMIESvisit: www.crashtestdummies.com.
