Barenaked Ladies mark 'Maroon' anniversary with expanded album

Barenaked Ladies celebrate a milestone 20th anniversary of their fifth studio album Maroon with an Exclusive Double Vinyl and Deluxe Digital edition.

Originally released on September 12, 2000, Maroon debuted at #1 in Canada, and #5 on the U.S. Billboard 200, selling over 1M records in the U.S. alone, spawning the classic hit singles, “Pinch Me”, “Too Little Too Late”, and “Falling for the First Time”.

Fans can pre-order an exclusive vinyl package, due Jan. 29, 2021, that features 180-gram double vinyl in a gatefold sleeve. A limited number of maroon-colored vinyl will also be available. The original twelve tracks are featured on both the vinyl and digital Deluxe versions' along with rarities, b-sides and demos, including an alternative version of 'Green Christmas'. Pre-order and stream HERE. The digital is out now. 

The video for the hit song “Pinch Me” features brand new 2020 band commentary. Watch the World Exclusive premiere on ET Canada HERE.

There is an exclusive merch capsule collection celebrating Maroon featuring hoodies, tees and other fun items inspired by the “Pinch Me” drive-thru restaurant. Visit BNL’s webstore HERE.

BNL have been staying busy during quarantine with weekly Facebook Livestreams along with their #SelfieCamJams, performing deep cuts and fan favorites from their homes, even bringing in surprise guests. In April, they did a family-fun "Snacktime" #SelfieCamJam for kids of all ages. Many familiar faces made a special appearance to share their favorite snack, like Sarah McLachlan, Tom Greene, KT Tunstall, The Count, and Darius Rucker of Hootie and the Blowfish, who Barenaked Ladies toured with in 2019. The band also teamed up with Michael BublĂ© and Sofia Reyes for a timely single “Gotta Be Patient,” with all proceeds to be donated to charity.

BNL’s recent TikTok video in which Ed takes you ‘Behind The Song’ on how he wrote the Big Bang Theory theme song has been viewed over 2.4 million times. Watch it HERE.
