The Tragically Hip are giving their fans something to sing about with a new album of long-lost recordings. The Kingston, Ont., band says they recently discovered six unreleased tracks, mostly from studio sessions for their 1991 album Road Apples. The Hip will release the collection Friday under the name Saskadelphia, a nod to the original working title of their chart-topping third album, which included Little Bones and Long Time Running. Saskadelphia includes lead single Ouch, a gritty bar-room fireball with the late Gord Downie growling lyrics against a wall of guitars, and Crack, among the band's most effervescent rock tracks. The album is rounded out with a live version of Montreal, a song the band says was written shortly after the 1989 massacre at École Polytechnique.
