    Weird, I was thinking about this band this morning because it's the first CD I ever bought and was wondering if they ever got popular outside of Canada. Guess they have.

    Feels like it’s been forever since they’ve released anything…hopefully this leads to some new stuff here somewhat soon.

    They won a grammy. Surely you have heard feel it still?

    I just realized my comment wasn't very clear; I was thinking about Len, not Portugal. Hearing a cover of that song the same day was an almost eerie coincidence.

    Music, a steady riot in my soul. Prestigious

    This song was really popular down here when I was in high school, but that was over 20 years ago at this point. Nothing else really caught on though as far as I know.

    England.

    Steal My Sunshine was a huge one hit wonder here in England. I can’t imagine it wouldn’t be featured in most one hit wonder compilations / charts. To my knowledge You Can’t Stop the Bumrush wouldn’t have sold much at all and they were never heard from again.

    Same here, they really faded into obscurity after that.
