The Sheepdogs talk new album 'Keep Out of the Storm' + upcoming Canadian tour

Canadian rock band The Sheepdogs have released their latest album, Keep Out of the Storm, and are preparing to launch a Canadian headline tour beginning March 13 at the Capitol Theatre in Chatham, Ontario. SWOMP spoke with bassist Ryan Gullen about the new album and the upcoming tour. The multi-platinum, four-time JUNO Award-winning group shared the new record through their own label, Right On Records. It is the band’s first full-length release since longtime drummer Sam Corbett departed and features a rotating lineup of guest drummers including Trevor Falls, Adam Hindle, Steve Kiely, Jordan Murphy and Dani Nash. Produced by frontman Ewan Currie and recorded with longtime collaborator Thomas D’arcy, the album was created largely between tour dates and captures a live-off-the-floor approach intended to preserve the band’s raw energy. “We are all trying to weather the storms in our lives,” Currie said while discussing the album. “Finding shelter, love, hope. We find all of those in rock and roll. Don’t let the title fool you, this record is full of light, love, guitars that rip, and sweet singing that moves you.” Alongside the release, the band also unveiled a new video for the track “Bad for Your Health,” which takes aim at modern digital excess and media saturation while leaning on classic rock influences. The album follows a busy period for the Saskatoon-based group. In 2025, The Sheepdogs completed a sold-out cross-Canada arena tour supporting Bryan Adams, released the companion EPs Paradise Alone and Hell Together, and launched their independent label. Their single “Take Me For A Ride” also ranked among the most-played rock songs on major radio charts last year. Keep Out of the Storm also highlights guitarist Ricky Paquette’s expanding role in the band’s sound, adding new guitar tones and vocal harmonies while maintaining the group’s signature classic-rock style. To support the release, The Sheepdogs will embark on an extensive Canadian tour beginning in Ontario and continuing across the country before additional international dates later in the year.
