Crash Test Dummies, a Canadian folk rock band, emerged from Winnipeg, Manitoba, in the late 1980s. Fronted by the distinctive baritone voice of Brad Roberts, the band carved a niche for themselves in the early 90s music scene, most notably with their 1993 hit single "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm." Their sound, characterized by deep vocals and a blend of acoustic and electric instrumentation, struck a chord with audiences worldwide, leading to multi-platinum sales of their album "God Shuffled His Feet."

Over the years, Crash Test Dummies have demonstrated a remarkable ability to evolve, experimenting with various musical styles and themes. Albums like "Oooh La La!" and "Songs of the Unforgiven" showcase the band's willingness to explore new territory, from the use of toy instruments to deeply introspective and melancholic lyrics. Despite line-up changes and the shifting landscapes of the music industry, Crash Test Dummies have continued to release music, including "Demo-Litions," a collection of demos and unreleased tracks, and engaging in tours, thus maintaining a loyal fanbase. Their body of work, encompassing a range of emotions from the whimsical to the spiritual, underscores the band's versatility and enduring appeal.
