When first published in autumn 2001, Have Not Been The Same became the first book to comprehensively document the rise of Canadian underground rock between the years 1985-95. It was a tumultuous decade that saw the arrival of Blue Rodeo, The Tragically Hip, Sarah McLachlan, Sloan, Barenaked Ladies, Daniel Lanois, and many others who made an indelible mark not only on Canadian culture, but on the global stage as well.
