left the band. He was replaced by Paul MacLeod. The band subsequently left Warner, after which von Althen also left the band. Since the band's sound had largely been defined by Maize and Cash's vocal harmonies, the band revised their sound somewhat for 1997's Desmond's Hip City, released on DROG Records. The title track had an almost trip hop feel, and some other songs (notably "November in Ontario" and "The Shape of Things to Come") were closer to hard rock than anything the band had previously recorded. In 1999, the band performed at the 1999 Stardust Picnic festival at Historic Fort York, Toronto. With Restless, their most popular album, still unavailable in stores due to legal uncertainties around FRE's bankruptcy, they decided that their next studio project would be to assemble a new version of that album using old rehearsal recordings. Still Restless: The Lost Tapes was released that year. In 2000, the band released the live album There and Back Again, followed in 2003 by Bittersweet Harmony. In 2006, they teamed up with The Cash Brothers (former Skydigger Peter Cash and his brother Andrew) to release, Skydiggers/Cash Brothers, an acoustic album. In 2008 they released City of Sirens, followed by the compilationThe Truth About Us in 2009. The band returned in 2012 when they released Northern Shore through MapleMusic Recordings. In 2013, the band released No. 1 Northern, an album of cover versions of songs by Canadian songwriters, including Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot, Ron Sexsmith, Gene MacLellan, Linda McRae, Charlie Angus and Andrew Cash. They also released the album She Comes Into The Room. In 2013, the band released the five-track EP Angels for the holiday season. A year later, this was expanded to 11 songs and released as a full album. The band are currently signed to Latent Recordings. On January 1, 2017, Skydiggers were part of CBC's The Strombo Show's Hip 30, where Canadian bands covered songs from The Tragically Hip to commemorate the Hip's 30th anniversary. The band covered the song "The Depression Suite: The Rock". 2017 also saw the release of the Skydiggers latest LP "Warmth of the Sun". The band is a member of the Canadian charity Artists Against Racism. Finlayson/Maize Josh Finlayson and Andy Maize of the Skydiggers have collaborated on a side project of their own named Finlayson/Maize. The duo released their album Dark Hollow under the project name. Discography Albums Singles
