Detour de Force, produced by Juno and Grammy award winners Eric Ratz and Mark Howard, is the band’s broadest reaching and most diverse album to date.  Its 14 tracks include the sonically adventurous “Flip”, the hopeful and infectious “Good Life” and “New Disaster”.  The album’s stylistic voyage moves from the uptempo fun of “Flat Earth” and country-flavoured “Roll Out” to the gentle melodies of “Live Well”, “The National Park”, “God Forbid”, “Man Made Lake” and the sonic roller-coaster of the closer, “Internal Dynamo”.  Consequence of Sound described the album as “playful in its structure and crowd-ready hooks while thematically addressing the human condition with acuity.”

Over the course of 33 years, the Toronto quartet has sold 15 million records worldwide and built up an arsenal of hits such as “If I Had a $1,000,000”, “One Week”, “Pinch Me” and “The Big Bang Theory Theme”.  Widely acknowledged as one of the best live acts on the planet, BNL has hosted a cruise, had its own ice cream flavour, won eight Juno Awards, and was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2018.  As Ed Robertson, Jim Creeggan, Tyler Stewart and Kevin Hearn put it on ‘Good Life’, “Wasn’t easy but it turned out alright/Wouldn’t trade it for another…You don’t wanna miss this mutha”
