Gump, the second album from Vancouver's Sons of Freedom, came out in 1991, and the band never quite came clean about its title, claiming it was inspired by Aerosmith's Pump, Van Halen's "Jump" and the Canadian goaltender Gump Worsley all at once. That sense of humour belongs to a band where three of the four members were named Don: singer James Newton fronted guitarist Don Harrison, bassist Don Binns and drummer Don Short, which is how they came to be nicknamed the Dons of Freedom.
The music is heavier than the jokes, alternative rock with thick, grinding guitars and Newton's vocal pushing through the din. "You're No Good" was the first single, "Call Me" also made the countdowns, and the band took the record out on a Canadian tour.
