Hemi-Vision is an album by Big Sugar, released in 1996. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 4 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Diggin' A Hole”, on 4 lists with a best position of #91.
Hemi-Vision, the third album from Toronto's Big Sugar, came out on A&M in September 1996, and it's the sound of Gordie Johnson, the band's singer, lead guitarist and chief songwriter, cranking the blues until the speakers smoke. Coming after Ride Like Hell, it's a swaggering, greasy record built on big, fat riffs and grooves that sit way down in the pocket.
"Diggin' a Hole" led a run of singles that also included "If I Had My Way" and "Gone for Good", and the band even cut a French-language version of one of them, "Ouvres-toi Bébé", to get on the radio in Quebec. The album earned a nomination for Best Rock Album at the 1997 Juno Awards. Heated followed, and between 1996 and 2016 Big Sugar sat among the top 25 best-selling Canadian bands at home.
