The Boomers were Canadian rockers who found their first real audience an ocean away. Their debut, What We Do, didn't set the tills ringing at home, but it became a cult favourite in Germany, and the band crossed over to tour there in 1991.
That foothold paid for the follow-up, Art of Living, released in 1993, and its single "You Gotta Know" finally gave them a hit back in Canada. The title track is the one that stuck around on rock radio's countdowns. The lineup counted Ian Thomas, Peter Cardinali, Bill Dillon and Rick Gratton, and the band, also known as The Boomers YYZ, called it a day in 2002.
