The Northern Pikes are a Canadian rock band hailing from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, whose music career soared during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The group was founded in 1984 and originally consisted of members Merl Bryck, Bryan Potvin, Jay Semko, and Don Schmid. Their sound is a blend of pop hooks and rock energy, which swiftly earned them a dedicated following in the Canadian music scene.

Their catalog spans numerous albums and hits, with a noted hiatus and subsequent reunions that have refreshed their presence in the music industry. After their initial success with albums like "Big Blue Sky" (1987) and "Snow in June" (1990), they experienced a resurgence of sorts with releases like "Truest Inspiration" and the live album "Live 2000," showcasing their enduring appeal and live performance prowess. By preserving their music through acoustic renditions of fan-favorites like "She Ain't Pretty" and "Kiss Me You Fool," The Northern Pikes have continued to engage audiences, old and new. Albums such as "Hits and Assorted Secrets (1983-1993)" serve as a testament to their lasting influence on Canadian rock, while more recent work like "Forest Of Love" (2019) adds to their legacy by demonstrating their ability to evolve musically while remaining true to their established sound.
