The Lowest of The Low emerged from Toronto's indie scene in 1991, led by principal songwriter Ron Hawkins. Over the years, they became one of Canada's most influential indie bands of the 1990s, blending sharp lyricism with melodic hooks. Their breakthrough album Shakespeare My Butt (1991) is regarded as a Canadian indie classic, later achieving Gold status in 2008 and frequently appearing on all-time Canadian albums lists. The band released Hallucigenia (1994) as their major-label debut, and captured a reunion-era live energy on Nothing Short of a Bullet (2002). Their discography spans studio and live releases, with Do the Right Now (2017), Agitpop (2019), Taverns and Palaces (2021), Welcome to the Plunderdome (2023), and Over Years and Overnight (2025). The 2025 Ontario tour highlights live stops across Vandorf, St. Catharines, Guelph, Hamilton, Burnstown, London, Windsor, Toronto, and Waterloo. Social media and updates are available through the band’s official site, linking to Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and SoundCloud.
