I was an 18 year old going to college for audio engineering in London, Ontario at the time. I bought the album and went to see them live 3x that year and another 10+ times since then! It was an honour to sit down with Colin and ask him 22 years worth of questions I’ve had about The Trews!

I just wrapped up a 2 hour deep dive interview with Colin MacDonald of the platinum selling, #1 charting and 6x Juno nominated band The Trews!

I became a fan in 2003 when they released their debut album House of Ill Fame which featured the #1 hit "Not Ready to Go".
